Did anyone's gynae prescribed this at your first consultation? I was reading online about it and wondering why my doctor prescribed me this when he did not mention any issue with my pregnancy.

TIA for any replies.=)

Dydrogesterone or Duphaston is a progestrone medication. Progestrone is the hormone that makes the womb 'environment-friendly' for baby's growth. Btw, I read that some women are given this at early stages if they are deemed need more protection given past mc histories, however some doctors give them just for security sake. A lot of women, including my friend and myself have progesterone problem. I am below 100, which is required. When preggies are low in progesterone and will be given progesterone jabs and/or pills.
I was bleeding and was prescribed the Duphaston 10mg to take twice a day. Hope this helps.

Btw there is not much reply from this forum after we posted. My thread has no replies til now....

dear all, thks for the reply! Glad to know that the effects that i read online r not true. Have clarified the use with my doc who said its to help the baby attach firmly to the uterus. He also said its fine i dont eat it if i am not comfortable. So, when i was 7 weeks going to 8, i decide to reduce my intake to once a day instead of 2 for one week before stopping completely (my doc gave me the med when i was 6 weeks and told me to eat for 2 weeks).

Cant wait for my next scan in 2 weeks.
