Question 1

i got naturally pregnant.i didn't have miscarriages or bleeding, but my gyn said that i should take utrogestan until the end of the pregnancy.why?

Accepted Answer

Have to ask OB why: Normally this would be given to a women during assisted reproductive assisted pregnancies or for someone who has had recurrent miscarriage. I can not say a reason now why you would need it with the history you have given or for the entire pregnancy.

Question 2

why am i experiencing bleeding during throughout pregnancy?
i have been using utrogestan 200mg as prescribed by the gynecologist but still i am experiencing this.
this is first time pregnancy and i am not sure if it's normal?

Accepted Answer

Bleed pregnant: Not normal but check with your local team who know you.

Question 3

im experience light bleeding even though i'm on utrogestan 200mg twice a day.  i habe had 3 previous miscarriages?

Accepted Answer

Can be normal,: if gets heavy or cramping, then an exam/sonogram could be reassuring.

Question 4

cramps in the first trimester of pregnancy and utrogestan 200mg?

Accepted Answer

Common complaint: Cramps in the 1st months is extremely common unrelated to your medication. Tell your doctor if the cramps continue or you have bleeding. As the uterus grows "growing pains" occur.

Question 5

is it safe to take utrogestan 200 mg in the first trimester of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes and No: Only if prescribed by your doctor for pg support. Otherwise no!

Question 6

bleeding light pink 11 weeks pregnant. on 200mg utrogestan. what's going on? is it ok? will it stop? is it normal? is the baby ok?

Accepted Answer

Talk to Dr: It's normal to have a little bit of spotting, but you may want to consider an ultrasound to determine that the embryo is okay at this point. You may also want to ask your doctor if it's necessary to continue to Progesterone at this point in time. Up to 25% of pregnancies have bleeding at some point. It doesn't always mean miscarriage but you should follow up with your doctor.

Question 7

evening dr....last week monday i was admitted because i having abdominal pains and bleeding but not heavily it was few drops and they stopped. but the pains where still there when i got discharged on friday i was prescribed augmentin, utrogestan?

Accepted Answer

Not clear?: I am so sorry. The history for your illness is not clear. Are you pregnant? Do you have problems with fibroids? What did they diagnose you with? Normally, abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding would not be a condition requiring hospital admittance unless there was something else going on. Could you resubmit your question with more detail

Question 8

bleeding at 5w4d, gynae did transvaginal scan, saw a heartbeat, prescribed 400mg progesterone (utrogestan) for 4 days and now 200mg. my progesterone levels were normal/high at 105. why do i have to keep taking it? causing extreme nausea & fatigue.

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy ?'s: At "5w 4d", with a detectable heart beat, if your physician felt that a miscarriage were possible ( for example, if you were having some bleeding) progesterone is appropriate.  Until the pregnancy is 9-10 weeks along, the ovaries produce the necessary progesterone, after which the placenta produces it. Usually progesterone orally can be stopped at 9-10 weeks of pregnancy.

Question 9

i have been given utrogestan vaginal suppositories to stop my bleeding and restart it again so i can begin fertility treatment. i was scared to take provera due to blood clot risks stated on them. are these vaginal suppositories safer? scared to die?

Accepted Answer

: Blood clots are associated with estrogen rather than progesterone, and unfortunately the Provera black box warning conflates the two. Utrogestan is a natural progesterone that avoids that confusion and is probably a better choice. In any case your risk of clots is very small.

Question 10

how much utrogestan is safe in first trimester?

Accepted Answer

It is very safe: it is recommended drug in the first trimester in patients with low progestrone or what we call it luteal phase defect, to decrease risk of miscarriage
and used also in 2nd trimester to decrease risk of preterm labor in women with short cervix
so it is safe and recommended by your doctor instructions
