I'm sorry, did I miss something here...I thought the discussion was on 17P...none of those articles you are referencing involves 17P...or are you of the belief that all progesterones are the same? ...and BTW, DES is an estrogen...

Sorry, rather DES than Thalidomide :-) This literature has been written way before this and we used progesterone ages ago. You'll find below some relatively recent articles before we find it ineffective. Don't try to invent tepid water. Bernard

I am sorry you haven't taken the time to familiarize yourself with the literature...and please don't compare 17P with Thalidomide...I can do without the sarcasm. BTW, next week in San Francisco, there will be other data presented on 17p at the SMFM meeeting..I will be more than happy to share them with you, so you can get educated.

Its worth noting that the 17 OH progesterone is for the prevention of of preterm delivery and not for the treatment of preterm labor.
