I come from a country where these are prescribed preventatively all the time (after one miscarriage even, or if there's any bleeding in early pregnancy) I'm on them at the moment (9wks) and also take oral progesterone and was told all is completely safe by my gyneo! Hope this helps x

I'm taking utrogestan 200, 4 capsules a day. I find them extremely messy and unpleasant. Currently 6 weeks pregnant after a frozen embryo transfer and hoping I can stop at 12 weeks

I'm on but only till 12 weeks. Interested to hear when others stop.

I had them many years ago after three successive MCs. I took them until about 16 weeks iirc. The nausea was horrible, but DS arrived in excellent shape.

Hi
I used them on dd until week 20 and she is absolutely fine. I found them awful to use and ended up using them as suppositories as was getting constant thrush using them as pessaries. Did not need them on my ds (had four mc between the two) and no difference health wise between the two

Not exactly the same but when my mum was pregnant with all of us (4 ranging from 31-37) she had progesterone injections every week throughout her whole pregnancies from as soon as she found out she was pregnant as she had a few miscarriages and a lit of trouble getting pregnant. And we are all healthy.
