Re: progesterone suppositories--what are the levels

I am in your same boat. I am about 13 weeks and was planning to stop between
16-20
weeks. That is when my refills run out. My RE stopped me at 12 weeks but I have
continued to take it after reading a lot on the internet. My OB/GYN does not
know that I
am still taking but so scared to stop! I am also MTHFR, but homozygous.
Good luck and please let us all know what you end up doing.
