Progest-E and Preeclampsia
-
Are there any instructions on how to use progest-e during the first trimester to reduce risk of preeclampsia during pregnancy? From what I understand it’s one of the original uses for it. However I can’t find any information online. I’d even pay for a consult but again I can’t find anybody who has heard of this. I’m feeling desperate at this point.

@Ellie I'm sorry. It's very hard to find because nobody dares to tell a pregnant woman anything in event she loses the baby and wants to sue. But progesterone is used for counteracting estrogen and holding onto the placenta and the baby.
Have you read this?

They recently found the paper that showed progesterone in babies increases IQ, I'd check their for dosage.

@Ellie All I know it that for women who suffer previous miss carriages, they recommend taking through the first trimester
