Was just re-reading my prescription and realized that I've only been taking half of the amount of Endometrin that I was supposed to. We saw a heartbeat at 6 weeks, I'm now nearly 9 weeks. Help! Have I done irreparable damage to baby? Can't even believe I made this mistake.
Only noticed because now I'm supposed to lower the dose to what I've already been taking, for the next 2 weeks. |

| You are fine. The point of endometrin is to maintain the uterine lining/placental. It's been maintained. It does not effect the baby. Just take what your OB recommends now and you will be fine. Good luck. |

| the endometrin isnt for the baby, its for the uterus - as insurance to keep it where it needs to be to prevent miscarriage. talk to your nurse, she will reassure you. |

| This is good news! It means your pregnancy stuck even without the extra boost - your body was making enough progesterone. It’s just an insurance policy. Now it’s time to taper! Call your nurse. I’m guessing they’ll say don’t bother adding more - just stick with where you are and keep tapering off. |

| OP here. Thanks so much. Was too embarrassed to even tell my husband, thank you for the kind words. Will follow up with my RE tomorrow. |
