Any moms take prometrium in your 1st trimester?

I am 7 weeks pregnant and have been on prometrium for a week now cause my progesterone level came back at only 7.5. I had a miscarriage last March so I am really nervous/scared that it will happen again. Will the prometrium help to carry this baby full term?

    I took prometrium during my first trimester and stopped once I hit the second trimester.  So far so good. I also suffered miscarriages, too.

    Prometrium greatly reduces your miscarriage risk due to low P. Typically you stop at 12-15 weeks.  I took it with both pregnanies and had 1 miscarriage in between due to low P.

    I was spotting from week 5-10, and took it.  I stopped at week 11 when my spotting stopped, and at that point the placenta starts producing it.  I had a loss last year, so I understand your nervousness.  I am happy every time I get to feel a reassuring wiggle or kick!  Good luck and positive thoughts for a sticky baby!

    My doctor just made me start taking this yesterday.  I had some spotting, only after BMs and my internal ultrasound.  She said my levels were ok but wanted to start me on this anyway since i have been spotting.  This concerns me a ton because i am being told things look good, but now we are taking other precautions?? I feel like they aren't telling me something!
