What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Primolut When Pregnant?

Hi, I recently taken 14 tablets (1 tab, twice daily for 7 days) of Primolut-N 5mg. I didnt get my period (which i have previously i as i took a course to get a period so I could take clomid for fertility), so decided to take a pregnancy test. It has come back positive! What are the side effects of taking primolut when pregnant. I know that its says very strongly not too. And what are the chances of something being wrong with my baby. PLEASE HELP.. Worried

Hallow Dear,

Please get rid of all your worries even before you start reading the following explanation.

Primolut-N is a progesterone preparation. Progesterone is a hormone which is required throughout the pregnancy for its maintenance. Hence, throughout the pregnancy the levels of Progesterone are raised all the time.

In fact, when in early stages (and many ties even later also), the pregnancy becomes unstable or is at risk, we do give progesterone to the pregnant woman to stabilize the pregnancy. Progesterone has no serious teratogenic effects on the baby. The only unwanted effect is if the baby is girl and if the progesterone is taken for very long time, her genitals may develop somewhat like a boy's genitals. Therefore, external Progesterone should be given with caution. However, 14 tablets of Primolut-N, that too before you missed your period is not going to affect the baby's development adversely.

I hope this gives you a sound sleep.
