My gynac started me on duphaston after i had some spotting early on. i'm 7 weeks and just want to understand how it helps. anyone else was on it and had a smooth pregnancy? feeling a little anxious.
I have PCOS and my doctor put me on it in the early weeks to support things. I wont claim it works the same for everyone though, every case is different. Trust your gynac's reasoning, she knows your reports.
It was part of my support medication during IVF too and I held onto it like a lifeline emotionally. But honestly it is your doctor's call based on your hormone levels, not something to compare with others. Sending you calm thoughts, the early weeks are hard.
This is a medicine, so please only take it the way your gynac has prescribed, dont start or stop on your own. Many women are given it for support in early pregnancy. But the dose and duration is something only your doctor should decide.
After my earlier loss my gynac prescribed it in my next pregnancy as a precaution. I would gently say please dont rely on anyone's experience here, get your own doctor to decide. Whatever happens, be kind to yourself.
It is commonly prescribed for hormonal support in early pregnancy, so its quite routine, dont panic. That said, never adjust the dose yourself or take it just because a friend did. Follow exactly what your gynac wrote on the prescription.
