Going into my first pregnancy I knew I would be low in progesterone due to a prior diagnosis of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I was tested and saw that I was in need of supplemental progesterone. I took compounded bioidentical progesterone in three different forms (injection, orally and suppository) for the entirety of my pregnancy. Because my naturally occurring numbers were so low, I have no doubt that if I had not been on progesterone supplements, I would have lost my baby in an early miscarriage. I continued to take them throughout to avoid preterm labor, which I was successful in doing. My husband and I probably owe our baby's life to progesterone being available within a matter of days of finding we needed it. I'm sure that compounded progesterone will continue to be an important part of my life as I navigate my PCOS diagnosis.
