Should I stop progesterone cream if I'm pregnant?

The doctor told me to stop my progesterone cream since I am pregnant. But she did not even know the stuff was available over the counter. What should I do? Every place online says not to since it helps to prevent a miscarriage.

If your doc told you to stop, then I would stop. Even if it's OTC, it could be potentially harmful to your baby.

I would definatly stop the cream. Progesterone is a hormone in pregancy and I wouldn't want to upset the balance by taking the chance that extra could enter your bloodstream.

I wouldn't mess with anything not natural, from your own body...

...It could affect your baby, although I have no idea how...

I'd quit taking it, your body knows what it's doing.
