Anyone on the duphaston medication during the first trimester of your pregnancy? Heard some bad effects but the nurse said is safe...
i took during my preg cos MC b4. and during the preg, yes my MS was VERY serious until i have to go for drips, injections, insert bullets to curb the MS. injections n drips for 2 days while the insert bullet medi for 10 days. MS lasts for 5.5 mths. and gynae said partly due to duphaston but MS still did not 'calm down' aft i stopped taking it ard 12weeks preg.My gynae just prescribed this to me even though i had no spotting or previous medical history... Gynae says to help support the pregnancy. I'm a bit worried to take as my sis-in-law had bad reaction to it - start vomitting very badly after starting the meds..
Anyone experienecd this?
I was told that the side effects include nausea, bloatedness and headaches.I am taking Duphaston too, i am 5 weeks pregnant via IUI so the Drs put me on Duphaston from the day my pregnancy was confirmed. what are the side effects? i have been taking it for past 2 weeks and i do urinate frequently, stomach is so bloated and gag in the mornings when i am brushing teeth.

lik what pinkdiamonds mentioned, it's more for hormones. and when the hormonse is high, it will 'protect' the baby and since pregnancy hormose is high, the MS will get more serious IMO =)
y not u ask ur gynae y he prescribe this to u since ur preggy journey is okay so far?Thanks for your reply
I'm still thinking if i should eat or not... My sis-in law's MS also very bad like you said, till hospitalised twice for drip and all. And lasted all the way till she was 7-8 months along! I saw what she went through so now a bit scared since i'm not really experiencing MS, only nausea, bloated, light headed.
Gynae says that my pregnancy is normal and so far so good *touch wood* so still wondering why he subscribed the meds to me..hmmm
May I ask how old r u? I think age might also be a factor as to whether you need the hormones pill more.Thanks for your reply

Ya, did ask why.. He just said to support the pregnancy and say like it's very normal to take this. Then I start googling and asking around and found out it's not that common at all, for a normal pregnancy.y not you ask your gynae y he prescribe this to you since your preggy journey is okay so far?
actually i feel that it could vary.. cos some ppl might not encounter the side effects =)
I'm 26 this year.. I think my gynae does have tt mindset, to prevent any mishap from the start maybe? I'm kinda torn whether to take or not. Like I said above, think I'll try and see d effect on myself. Thanks!May I ask how old r you? I think age might also be a factor as to whether you need the hormones pill more.
I think your gynae prescribed it to you just to be on the safe side to ensure that the pregnancy goes smooth sailing. if i remember correctly, 1 in 4 pregnancies usually end up in a miscarriage. So I think from your gynae's point of view he prefers to play safe, rather than wait for something to happen then take action.
hi ellyeun,im just 5wks into pregnancy.... just went to see the gynae today.. he gave alot of folic acid and also duphaston (only 10 tablets) next appt is 3wks later....
