Suggest Remedy For Problem In Conceiving
Hi, I am married for 5 years and planning for a baby. I had irregular menstrual cycle and visited a Gynecologist in a local clinic. I am undergoing treatment from 8 months and now menstrual cycle is regularized, however not conceived yet. Doctor prescribed to take Gestmate 200, Natural Micronised Progesterone Soft Gelatin Capsules. I am little confused about its side effect and its preventing me from getting pregnant. Please let me know if I can continue taking it.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Gestmate belongs to a class of hormones called progestogens, which is a C-21 steroid hormone involved in the female menstrual cycle, supports gestation and embryogenesis of humans.
Progersterone also does the same function, which helps the implantation of fertilized ovum and further carrying pregnancy further.
One of the reason why you might be still having delay in conceiving despite taking these medicines could be issues related to the following:
1. Patency of Fallopian tubes, which needs to be assessed by 'Hysterosalpingography'.
2. Status of the ovary and timing of ovulation by doing follicular studies.
3. Semen analysis of your partner.
Kindly consult Infertility specialists with the reports after undergoing the above tests for proper evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
