Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am now 15 weeks pregnant. I had been bleeding for three months and was admitted to the hospital to stop it. My baby is fine, and I have been on a bleeding tablet for a month and a half. Can I stop my bleeding tablet now that the 15th week has started?
Kindly suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Thanks for sharing that you are now 15 weeks pregnant—congratulations! I am really glad to hear that your baby is doing well after the bleeding episode.
However, whether you can stop your bleeding medication (likely Progesterone or similar) depends entirely on your doctor's recommendation, the reason you were bleeding (for example, subchorionic hematoma, threatened miscarriage), and how stable your pregnancy is now.
Here is what is generally true:
Most doctors taper or stop bleeding support medications like Progesterone around 12 to 16 weeks, once the placenta fully takes over hormone production. But you should not stop any pregnancy-related medication without your doctor’s advice, even if the bleeding has stopped.
What you should do now:
Contact the doctor who prescribed the bleeding tablets and let them know you are at 15 weeks.
Ask if you need a follow-up scan or blood test to confirm it is safe to stop.
Do you know the name of the bleeding medicine you were prescribed? That might help me give more specific guidance while you wait to speak with your doctor.
Revert with the answer to assist further.
Take care.
