Eileen- My doctor told me that it was ok if I got pregnant while on
Prometirum. She said it is much milder and more natural than provera
and there are no instances of any deformaties or problems with the fetus
exceot one case of a cleft palat, but they don't even know if that was
due to the prometrium. Did your dr. tell you something different?
