Hello Doctor. My name is Ruksana khanam Happy, Age 29 I m form Bangladesh. I ve been married 5 years ago, I m pregnant now about 29th weeks. It s my second pregnancy, my first pregnancy was miscarriage about tow and half years ago. I have diabetes and high blood pressure. At present pregnancy, there was a light bleeding or spotting at the beginning of my pregnancy it was still about two weeks, that time I went my local doctor for consult & my doctor were prescribe me some medicine like... ( Inj: Levemir flexPen 100 U/ml ) for one times. ( Inj: NovoRapid Penfill, 100 U/ ml ) for two times. ( Cap: Microjest 100, Generic name is: Natural Micronised Progesterone ) for two times.

And some of my problems are still happening like leg cramps, fatigue, skin rash and itching, depression, and sleep less at night. I have some question to you that I was taken so many medicine from my early pregnancy and continue till now. Are there any risk of me & my unborn baby for taken by those medicine? I especially want to know from you about Progynova 2 mg tablets, because I found it through the internet it is not safe in pregnancy. How many weeks should take progynova 2 mg tablets in pregnancy? Is it safe or not during 29th weeks of pregnancy? Can I continue this tablets? My doctor said it will continue till end of the eight months of my pregnancy in my condition. So doctor what should I do in this situations? Please describe me your opinion, Can I stop or not progynova & others medicine in this situations of my pregnancy. I m very worried about the matter. Please inform me as early as possible.

Hi,

Progynova contains ethinyl estradiol, the use of which is not indicated or recommended during pregnancy as it has multiple actions on uterine endometrium. You must seek second opinion regarding the same before consuming it further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
