Became Pregnant Naturally. Advised To Stop Taking Progynova Tablets. Started Bleeding And Miscarried. Was Given Correct Advise?
I fell pregnant naturally the cycle before starting IVF treatment. My clinic had advised me to start taking cyclo progynova tablets a week after I ovulated. Once I realised that I was pregnant I contacted the clinic. They advised me to stop taking the cyclo progynova. I asked if I needed to use progesterone pessaries to support the pregnancy but was advised that I did not need to. I stopped taking the progynova on the Monday and started spotting 5 days later on the Friday. The following day (Saturday) I started bleeding and miscarried. Was I given the correct advice? Did stopping the cyclo progynova cause me to start bleeding?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You were given correct advice as cycloprogynova is contraindicated in pregnancy.
For pregnancy support if indicated natural micronized progesterone is given like susten.
Miscarriage in first trimester is due to chromosomal anomaly or certain idiopathic reasons.
Stopping progynova is not responsible for it.
Take care
