Are you pregnant?: If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available at any pharmacy. You can not be having a miscarriage if your pregnancy test is negative

I am around 5 week pregnant (last period was on 10-Sep). My Hcg hormone level is 800+ Miu/ml and progesterone 26.2 ng/ml. Because I have history of miscarriages i was advised to take cyclogest pessaries (2 per day). Will this cause birth defects?
