Researchers in the United Kingdom say progesterone treatments given to pregnant women with a history of miscarriage can make a difference. Studies in previous years had concluded there was no.
New research says that vaginal suppositories of progesterone given to pregnant women experiencing bleeding in the first trimester did not result in a significantly higher incidence of live births. A new method to protect the most vunerable pregnancies Women who have had miscarriages and bleeding in the first trimester may find help preventing subsequent miscarriages in new research on the use of the hormone progesterone to prevent pregnancy loss during the first twelve weeks (the most common time for a miscarriage. “In pregnancy, progesterone will maintain the uterine lining, provide endometrial nutrition for the fetus, and will prevent premature uterine contractions,” Allison Jung, a physician’s assistant. Progesterone helps your uterus (womb) grow during pregnancy and keeps it from having contractions.
If you have contractions in early pregnancy, it may lead to miscarriage. This is the death of a baby in the womb before 20 weeks of pregnancy. In later pregnancy, progesterone. Progesterone is essential for the maintenance of pregnancy.

Hi, Dr. How about Estradiol pills-Estrofem? I had frozen embryo transfer. It’s successful. I have been taking Estradiol pills, 2 tablets each intake twice a day. It was prescribed by IVF dept. and they told me to take these pills up to 12 weeks of pregnancy.
My concern is, one of the reasons I had ivf was because my uterus was infantile and my uterine lining was almost nothing. My question is, is it really safe now to stop taking estradiol pills at 12 weeks of pregnancy? Will my uterus and the uterine lining continue to grow if I stop taking Estradiol pills at 12 weeks of pregnancy?
I am worried for the growth of my uterus and my baby. I am no longer seen by IVF dept. I was already endorsed to Early Pregnancy department and this department said that I would not take Estradiol pills anymore at 12 weeks. They said that I only need to take Progesterone vaginal suppository for one more month from 12 weeks. Will my baby be safe with Progesterone suppository only? Should I not worry anymore that they are stopping my Estradiol pills at 12 weeks of pregnancy? Please enlighten me, Dr. Thanks you.
Can I stop taking Progesterone(2 tablet-100 mg each and 6 tablets in a day) after 14 weeks of pregnancy post blastocyst transfer?
Dear sir, This is interesting. I have few questions.
1. When suggesting a patient for vaginal progesterone, is there any possibility of increasing infections compared to oral progesterone?
2. As infections are a known cause of second-trimester miscarriage, do you recommend doing high vaginal swabs or bacterial vaginosis screening prior to starting vaginal progesterone?
Thank you.
can you cover when to stop estrogen supplement such as Progynova for egg donor cases. Do you also reduce the amount of progesterone taken with duphaston from week 11 in an egg donor case.
