What Does My Scan Report Indicate?
Question: Hi, I am 6 weeks pregnant. Doctor had spot a collection in scan and ask me to use t.strone 200mg(vaginal). Is this safe for my baby? What's the purpose of it? And what is the collection?
Brief Answer:
Progesterone is safe
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Vaginal progesterone makes the uterine environment more favourable for the fetus and is given to support the pregnancy.
It is safe for the mother and the fetus.
The collection is most likely the subchorionic collection, which is the blood collection in the membranes around the fetus. It is mostly due to decreased progesterone levels in the body.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
