Hey Valerie good to see you, I owe you an email I know :)
I haven't ever heard of anyone taking progesterone past week 14 (usually
you come off it week 11 or 12) because by then the placenta has taken
over progesterone production... meaning that no matter how little your
body produces, your levels should be FINE by now, well and truly!! No
worries at all! (But your doctor should have explained that to you I'd
think!)
