I've heard about progesterone being used for pregnancy support. Can it typically be taken orally during pregnancy, or are there other common ways it's given?
I panicked so much when my doctor prescribed this in my 6th week, thinking something is wrong with my baby. But it is very standard support therapy. Don't worry, just swallow it with water as advised by your doc and relax.
Yes, my doctor prescribed oral progesterone in my first trimester. My MIL was a bit worried about so many pills, but I told her it's just to support the pregnancy. Always take it exactly as your doctor says.
I tracked all my meds on an app and yes, progesterone is given orally, vaginally, or even as injections. The oral ones can sometimes make you super sleepy, so it's often recommended to take them before bedtime.
Haan, doctors give oral progesterone tablets quite commonly to prevent any complications. But don't ever self-medicate or change the dose on your own. Whatever your gynac has written in the prescription, just follow that blindly.
