Could over dosage of hormones during pregnancy affect the baby?
Patient: I am in the 9th week of pregnancy. We did an ultrasound last week and it was said that there is a choriodecidual seperation of 25% and some bleeding around the pregnancy. so i was asked to take Susten 200g injections once every week. And also naturogest 200 mg twice daily. Its not only making me very sick, I am worried that its too much of hormones that is being given to me. Is this dosage right? I was also given an Anti D injection as my blood group is O Rh Negative. I am also on 100mcg Eltroxin and 500mg Diamet (metformin) from before. I am really concerned as i have conceived after 6 years of marriage. Please advice. Doctor: Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the bleeding around the conceptus might result in miscarriage rarely.So the progesterone hormones like susten are given to calm down the uterus and prevent miscarriage.The susten is safe and doesn't harm the fetus.Metformin also is safe .Eltroxin is essential for hypothyroidism to keep thyroid under control.Anti D is essential in case of Rh negative pregnancy.So dont worry as all the medicines you are taking are essential and doesn't harm your pregnancy.So relax.Avoid stress.Hope this helps.Best regards...
