I had progesterone cream through my last pregnancy and through this one in fact I just got off it at 13w. I would really pursue your ob and ask him to check your progesterone levels, they tend to be low with PCOS, not with everyone but you want to check. And make sure your behind your ob. Let him know your concerns. IS this your first baby. This is my 4th pregnancy, I have had a stillborn and two premature babies. The dr. is even seeing every two weeks instead of once a month. If you would like to email me at home faussetja@aol.com feel free. It would be nice to keep and touch.
