I am currently 7 weeks pregnant and have been prescribed progesterone (cyclogest) due to previous unexplained miscarriages. All miscarriages were early (before 6 weeks). I'm over the moon to be pregnant again but I am struggling with a decision as to whether to take the progesterone. The EPU, my GP and even the pharmacist when I went to collect my prescription all made reference to looking at the risks and weighing up the pros and cons. I think the main risk is that there isn't really any long-term data on the affects of progesterone on children as they get older /into adulthood. There have been suggestions of links to autism and also unknown risks relating to the development of genitals for both males and females.
I wondered if anyone has had the same thought process around this? Is there anyone who decided against taking progesterone due to the risks? Or should it be a no brainer to take it due to my history?
