My gynac mentioned progesterone support but i didnt fully understand when and why its needed. Some friends got it, some didnt. Just trying to understand at what point doctors usually give it.
Progesterone injections or vaginal tablets can be quite expensive, so do factor that into your medical budget if your gynac prescribes them. I had to take them for a month and it added to our pharmacy bills, but it was essential for baby's safety. Plan your expenses practically so these extra costs don't stress you out.
Hey! Progesterone is usually given in the early weeks if there's any spotty bleeding or if you've had issues in previous pregnancies. Don't stress too much about it, it's just a little extra hormone support to keep the baby cozy inside. Just take it exactly as your gynac told you!
Progesterone is not a regular supplement you can just take on your own. It is given by doctors to prevent preterm labor or if there is low hormone level or bleeding in early pregnancy. Don't self-medicate, let your gynac decide if you need it.
I am in my second trimester now and my doctor gave me progesterone gel in the first few weeks to prevent any complications. I was so anxious about using it daily. Did anyone else here also have to use progesterone supports early on?
Oh, I know how scary it feels when the doctor prescribes hormones, you start worrying if something is wrong. I was also put on progesterone support in my first trimester because of mild spotting. It actually helped me feel secure, and my baby was born perfectly healthy, so breathe easy!
