Should I take cyclogest?

[Leighclark28]

Hi all, new here.

Me and my partner have been TTC for 2 years.

Has loads of tests but found nothing wrong.

The fertility doctor and my local NHS hospital prescribed me cyclogest as I had slightly short luteal phases.

I tried it for 2 months but spotted a lot whilst taking it and it didn't increases my luteal phase.

Yesterday, being a couple of days late, I thought I'd do a test on the off chance. Wow! Positive! Very unexpected.

I have had some light brown spotting for 5 days now, and I have 15days worth of cyclogest left. Do you think I should take it? I've emailed the fertility doctor but as its the weekend I'm guessing I won't hear anything until at least Monday.

Any help is much appreciated.

I would. It’s widely used for early pregnancy support rather than for what you’ve been using it for, is considered very safe, and you already it….

Whats your concern?

I haven't taken the cyclogest at all this month so was just concerned that taking it now might be an issue. Just being an overly anxious ninny I guess.

Wont be an issue, take it. I found it easier to use it rectally. Less mess and no chance of irritating my cervix.

I also used it rectally, it actually absorbs into your body better there with less escapage! I took it until 16 weeks.

it’s commonly prescribed for bleeding in early pregnancy to prevent miscarriage so I think it would be good for you to keep taking it. Congratulations 🥳

Yes take it. Agree with other posters to take it rectally. Congratulations @Leighclark28
