A member asked:
I am 40 and 5 weeks pregnant , can i take a natural supplement, either a natural hgh or a natural progesterone to help in early pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No HGH: You should not take natural supplements during pregnancy without review by your Obstetrician. I am unaware of any need for HGH during pregnancy. Natural progesterone may be prescribed by your doctor if you have low progesterone levels from a defective corpus luteum called a luteal phase defect. Please talk to your provider before you take any natural supplements. Don't experiment with your baby.
