Question : Hi XXXXXXX
I recently took your views regarding the follicle size. My follicle size was 17mm this time and doc injected me HCG for the follicular rupture.
Another scan showed that follicle has ruptured and she asked me to try for pregnancy as well as gave me Prestol plus 200 (to be placed in the vagina)tablets to take for 20days.

My concerns is , is it okay to take this tablet. What if I have not conceived. Taking for 20days wont be harmful?

You can take it.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting me about your health care.

Sorry for such a long delay in my response.

I have gone through your history and in your case progesterone is given to help in implantation of fertilized egg and maintain pregnancy.

So there is no harm in taking this medicine because it will support pregnancy and there is no harm to baby also.

Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information about it.

Good luck.
