Should Progesterone Be Continued For Vaginal Bleeding During Pregnancy?

Hi Doctor,
I am 7 weeks pregnant, and I have a history of 2 terminations and 1 miscarraige.
In 2 terminations also I started to bleed before the scheduled date of Termination.
Now I was back in India on my holiday and I conceived again. And after telling my history to my doctor she prescribed me to have Progesterone "Dubagest SR400" and once I arrive to the country I live my doctor asked me to stop that medicine.
And suddenly i started to have cramping and pain yesterday with the red blood coming out luckily I had 3 tablets lefts of Progesterone so I took that again
Now the pain is not there and bleeding also stopped but some dark color blood is coming?
Would you suggest me to continue with Progesterone?
Thank you

I look forward to hearing from you
Regards
Shweta Chawla

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Better to continue Progesteron as suggested by your Indian doctor. Progesterone helps in continuation of pregnancy and in preventing miscarriage. Dubagest contains natural micronised progesterone and it belongs to category B drug in pregnancy so there may not be any major side effects. As you are having the history of previous two miscarriages better to continue Progesteron till the baby achieves viability that is around 28 weeks. Regarding the dosage you can check progesterone levels periodically and can proceed. Now as you had one episode of bleeding, better to undergo ultrasound once to confirm the viability of the fetus and to rule out any possible threatened abortion.

Hope, I have answered your question, I will be happy to answer any further follow-up questions.

Take care.
