Hi. She should go to her dr. and get a pregnancy test or confirm it by scan.However, Optogest is micronised progesterone and safe in pregnancy and it is for maintainence of pregnancy. It can be continued in first trimester of pregnancy aswell. So, she may continue it without fear and get her test done. Also take folic acid if you are trying to conceive.
Thanks.
