Thanks for the confirmation... I had thought once upon a time that mid second trimester was about the latest anyone would need to be on it, but when my doc kept prescribing it, and I knew it didn't hurt anything, I just kept right along with it (and then my mother swears up and down that she was on it until 32 weeks) Guess my doc and my mothers doc were just super-cautious in their progesterone removal... I feel better now... (can't help but be prone to second guessing and worrying with those 2 prior m/c's, for as much as this baby has been such a gift and of such impact, I don't know that I'll ever get over those loses to the point where I actually trust my own body readily...
