QuestionHow much risk does my baby really face given it was conceived while I was taking 10 mg of Provera daily to jump start my cycle. I keep reading about increased risk of birth defects and am really freaking out.
AnswerDear Riley,
Many women actually are prescribed Provera during their pregnancies if their progesterone level is low. Provera is simply a synthetic form of progesterone, which is a naturally occurring hormone during pregnancy.
Don't panic. The little boost of progesterone may be what aided conception in the first place - depending upon what your own levels were. Try to relax, take those prenatal vitamins, eat and live healthy, and enjoy the pregnancy as much as possible!
I hope this has helped you and answered your question. I wish you well.
Brenda
