Progesterone in pregnancy
Currently seven weeks pregnant. This is my second pregnancy. First baby is of ten months. My gynae didn't prescribe any form of progesterone tablet. She just gave macfolate once a day. But in my first pregnancy I had duphaston till 18 weeks.
My question is if I don't take progesterone tablet will it harm? Is progesterone tablet support mandatory in early pregnancy?

You must have had some problems like vaginal spotting or haemorrhage in choreo decidual space in the last pregnancy, or may be previous history of some mishap.
This time there is no problem so far. So you didn't get progesterone

No need
If u have ur gynaecologist will definitely prescribe definitely
Not mandatory
U give a chance for the dr to do her job
Don't involve in
Asking doubts is nessasary but not dictating treatment
Have some trust in dr who is treating you

U Don't need progesterone after 12 weeks
So last pregnancy u were advised progesterone unnecessarily
Not all pregnancy require progesterone support
It is given only if u hv bleeding or spottin in the initial weeks
If u have had history of abortions in past
Or this pregnancy is a conception after treatment
Abstain from unnecessary medicine
