Hi,

Gestofit contains progesterone, a hormone which helps preventing miscarriage by strengthening the lining of uterus. That's why, bleeding is reduced.

The dose you are taking is sufficient for your case (at risk for miscarriage). If your doctor did prescribe it to you, it was because you are getting more benefits than side effects from its use.

With regards to the 'how long you can use it", it depends on physical and ultrasound examination done by your OG specialist. He/she will determine whenever you can stop it.

All the best!
