Trying To Conceive. Prescribed Duphastan, Susten Vt. Can I Combine Both Medicines? Is It Safe To Take?

Hello Doctor,

I and My Wife are trying have been trying to have a baby for about a year now. I am not sure we timed our intercourse properly. It is just recently, that we started timing.

We got impatient ( i think ) and visited our doctor. I am 33 and my Wife is 30 . Our doctor prescribed Vitamin C, Vitamin E for Me and

Ubiphene 50 mg ( twice daily ) from 2nd day of my wife's period +
Duphastan 10mg ( daily once in the morning ) form the 16th day of her period +
Susten VT 200mg , that one too from the 16th day of her period.

We have read somewhere that excess dosage of progesterone, can have some side effects . 1. First of all, we would like you to ask if taking medicines is a safe way to proceed. Or should we just try for few more months timing it properly.
2. Can we combine both Duphastan 10mg and Susten VT 200mg starting the 16th day ?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Progesterone does not cause harm even in high dose if given for short duration. You can combine both medicines for better support. Only important thing is not to take it without conferming ovulation, as it might reduce chance of pregnancy if given before ovulation.
Wish you good health.

Also after trying for one year, its better to take some treatment than not to take it.
