🙋‍♂️ Hello ! Im first time pregnant. I had a minor bleeding in the end of 13 week. And they put me on Progesterone supp 2x 200 mg for 2 weeks. After that I understand that this might lead to hypospadia with boys :( And Im waiting for a boy. I blame myself for not listening to another doctor who told me to take only 200 mg at night (half rhe dose). And now I am in very bad mental state …

I'm sorry you're having a hard time. In the nicest way possible, there's nothing you can do now as it's in the past. All you can do is wait and see. Worrying is not good for the baby and will not change the outcome.

I'd never heard of the condition but it appears that even if your baby did end up with it, it is treatable.

Literally never had this mentioned to me. And I needed to be on progesterone until week 34. Try not to panic. There’s so many things which ‘could’ cause some sort of issue.

I was on progesterone from seven weeks until 33 weeks when I gave birth prematurely and was never once mentioned to me because the risk is so, so small. When the choices are take it and risk potential complications or lose your baby, we all know what choice most of us would make.

Correlation is not causation. Try not to panic as the benefits of the progesterone greatly outweigh the small risks. I didn’t have/ need any progesterone (or meds at all) and my 2nd baby was born with hypospadias, just one of those things. He had the op (day surgery) last September and all totally fine!
