A member asked:
I have light brown spotting on and off through luteal phase. can i take progesterone supplement without prescription or is it unsafe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not safe : Over the counter progesterones are not regulated by the FDA and the purity and potency are not assured. To be safe, see your doctor, be sure that a low progesterone ( i.e. Luteal phase defect) is the problem, and then you can safely begin a prescription progesterone. Best to be safe.
