I read on one of the older posts that some people are taking progesterone on the regular protocol. Is this necessary??? I'm hoping that I don't have to call my MD and ask for another prescription, she was so great, I'm sure she'll get it to me, but I hate to bug her!!! Thanks!!! 1year on regular protocol. Nursing/pumping for one month for our sweet girl!! Copy Link to Clipboard
