Does reducing Gestone injection after six weeks of pregnancy cause bleeding?

Hi doctor,

I am six weeks and three days pregnant with the help of IVF, and it is frozen embryo transfer on day 20. My doctor suggested reducing Gestone injection frequency from daily to alternate days when heartbeats were checked after the sixth-week scan. And to continue oral Duphaston and vaginal tablets. Does reducing the frequency of Gestone injection this early cause bleeding? Or is it safe to reduce from daily to alternate days once the heartbeat is visible? Kindly help.

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply. My doctor advised me to be alert, as bleeding may happen. So, I got scared because I have a history of miscarriage. Currently, I am taking the following medications,

1) Injection Gestone 100 mg on alternate days, which was previously (till yesterday) taken daily, and it did not cause bleeding.

2) Tablet Duphaston 10 mg twice a day.

3) Tablet Emprogest 400 mg two tablets twice a day vaginally.

4) Tablet Evadiol 2 mg four tablets twice a day.

5) Tablet Ecosprin 75 once a day.

6) Injection Exhep S.C daily.

7) Injection GCCF S.C daily.

Kindly help.

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply. I asked my doctor whether reducing the dose could cause bleeding. So she told me to continue injection Gestone daily for the next ten days, which got me confused? Should I continue it daily, as she said? Does excess progesterone affect the fetus? Or should I go with her first suggestion of alternate days? She told me if bleeding happens, I have to be hospitalized for three days. Kindly help.
