Women who have my condition, polycystic ovarian syndrome, often do not produce enough progesterone to sustain a pregnancy once it is established. After all, the problem was a lack of hormones in the first place. So I went in to the doctor's office to let the vampires suck out some blood for testing. They ran a pregnancy test, of course, and confirmed that I was indeed pregnant. They also checked my progesterone levels, and they were actually even higher than average for this stage of the pregnancy. So everything was looking good!
