Hi lybrate-user
Just to update you that Proluton, Susten and Duphastone all are progesterone which are given to support pregnancy.

This is nisha27 week pregnant. Now. I have taken duphaston 20 mg per day until 25 week. And also taken injections pregsafe2 ml. Weekly once. Now my physician changed the tablet sustain 200 mg twice a day. And also said to continue injection until 37 weeks. Taking of progesterone pills. And injection can take both. Is good or not. This is my natural pregnancy. I have not taken any infertility treatment before that. Even though why they r prescribing these to. If we take more progesterone can lead any side effects. I having doubt about these. Natural conception not need any additional hormonal drug. Injection. Body it self is produce automatically. If the hormones level is less. Or lack only we need to take this drugs form and injections form. The physician will not check my hormonal level also. Then why they r prescribing to take these two. It is safe or not. How to know my hormones is everything is normal. Is there any specific blood test for that to detect my hormonal level during my pregnancy please suggest. My physician also not tell to take any hormone test but they r prescribing to take progesterone injection. And pills. Pls tell is there any way to find out my my normal. Or abnormal. Or lacking hormones in my body. Tell the test names.

Excess progesterones and injections can have side effects on the liver. Ask your gynaec if there’s any particular risk factor in your pregnancy for continuing the tablets and injections, such as low lying placenta/ twins/ bleeding in early pregnancy, or certain blood disorders like thrombophilias. If none of these are present in your pregnancy, then you could just continue susten capsule for up to 34 weeks and then stop all hormonal medications.
