Had  two miscarriages. Is it ok to take progesteron tablets while I've conceived ?
Patient: Hi doctor, i have had miscarriage twice very early in my pregnancy 5/6 weeks.here in uk they dont do any test until it happens 3 times. but i want to avoid it next time .I might be pregnant now as we were trying to conceive this month and my period is due next week. After reading loads of blogs and forum , i heard may be it is caused by low progesteron. Do you think its ok to take progesteron tablet if i find out im pregnant without consulting doctor as doctor in this country doesnt do anything until it happens 3 times. If there is no side effect , can i not take them ? please advice . Kind Regards Doctor: Hi, Thanks for the query. Miscarriage in early weeks of pregnancy can happen due to many causes and progesterone deficiency is one of them. But there are many other causes like chromosomal problems, structural defects etc. So just by supplying progesterone we cannot prevent miscarriage due to other causes. But it will help in case of progesterone deficiency. So you can use them, prefer natural micronized progesterone as much as possible. Take care.
