My doctor prescribed progesterone, and I'm wondering about the duration. For how long do women typically need to take progesterone during pregnancy? I want to understand the general timeline.
Beta, progesterone is given to support the pregnancy, usually till the first trimester ends around 12 weeks. But you must not stop or change the dose yourself. Eat healthy ghar ka khana like soaked almonds and milk alongside your medicines.
I just delivered last month and I had to take progesterone suppositories till week 12 because of some early bleeding. It was a bit annoying but it really kept my baby safe. Your doctor will tell you when the placenta is strong enough to stop it.
Usually doctors prescribe it till 12 weeks when the placenta takes over, but some need it longer. Don't guess or miss doses because of a busy work routine. Just ask your gynac directly on your next visit.
I am still trying to conceive, but my doctor mentioned she might give me progesterone support once I get pregnant. I think it depends on each person's body and history. I hope your doctor guides you well.
This is a hormone supplement and should only be managed by your doctor. The duration varies wildly depending on your scan results and symptoms. Please call your gynac to ask exactly when you can safely stop.
Oh those progesterone pills made me so sleepy, I miss those sleep days now with my newborn! I had to take them till week 14. Pls check with your doctor, do not stop them on your own even if they make u tired.
Progesterone can be quite expensive, especially if you have to take it for a long time. I had to take it till the 16th week and it did add up to our monthly medical budget. Do check with your doctor if it is still needed or can be stopped.
