Congrats!

Prometrium is synthetic progesterone. I took it because my progesterone levels were exceptionally low. Did your Dr tell you where your levels are? If the progesterone is low, I would definitely take it. If not, then I'd skip it.

No. Many women, myself included, take it in the first trimester.

Congratulations.

After ttc for 15 or 16 months, DH and I just got our first positive hpts. Confirmed with a blood test today. Doc says my levels are all good, but still wants to put me on prometrium "just-in-case."

Are there any risks or downsides to taking prometrium during early pregnancy?
