Hi, I have read your query & understood your concern. You are 8 weeks pregnant & considering your past history,the pregnancy needs hormonal support till minimum 16 weeks. The hormonal support (Duphaston )should not be withdrawn till then. If you have economical problem,you should look for supply from government quota/ you can get injectable form of hormone ,which is cheaper. Visit your treating doctor & get the prescription changed . Thanks.
