Im 6 weeks and my doc started me on progesterone right after the scan. I didnt ask much in the moment but now im wondering why it was given when im not even bleeding or anything. anyone else got these in first trimester?
I was given progesterone after some early bleeding and it was to support the pregnancy. Please follow the exact schedule and dont stop it suddenly without your doctor saying so. These are decided case by case, so go fully by your gynac.
After my IVF, progesterone support was a big part of my early weeks to help hold the pregnancy. I know it can feel worrying to be on extra meds, but my doctor reassured me it was protective. Just trust your doctors guidance and dont skip doses.
My gynac put me on progesterone early and explained it helps support the lining and maintain the pregnancy in the first weeks. She said it is commonly given when there is spotting or a history of loss. Take it exactly as she prescribes and dont stop on your own.
