Too much progesterone supplement during pregnancy
by Kristyna
(Toronto, Canada)
I have had 7 pregnancies, 3 births, 3 miscarriages, and am currently pregnant. The cause of my miscarriages is low progesterone levels- thus unstable uterus.
To ensure a successful pregnancy, I must take prometrium 2-300mg daily until 16 weeks (when placenta can take over) My question is, is it possible to have too much progesterone? My level (blood work) at 5 weeks, after 6 days of oral progesterone 300mg, is 63. This is high, but hcg is growing steadily, and everything seems normal so far (still VERY early). Besides increased pregnancy side effects (constipation, etc.) is there any harm in having a high progesterone level?
