Hello doctor,
I am a 35-year-old female. I am 11 weeks pregnant. On the sixth week, I had a threatened miscarriage and started taking Cyclogest 400 mg suppository, twice a day. Now I am facing severe shortness of breath. Is it because of the high dose of Progesterone I am taking? Does this affect the baby in any way? Kindly advice.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You can switch to oral administration of Progesterone and half the dosage with tablet Susten 300 mg SR (Progesterone - sustained release) once at night daily orally. This shall reduce your possible breathlessness, and uneasiness. You should repeat your ultrasound now, and see if the placentation has improved, and the fetus is viable with no evidence of subchorionic hemorrhage. Please follow-up with the ultrasound report and discuss with your obstetrician to decrease the progesterone dosage, and take an informed decision.
