Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
There are two reasons why the doctor would have prescribed this injection for you -
1. The first is that you have had previous miscarriage.
2. The second reason is the spotting which you had in early pregnancy.
Fertigyn contains hormones which support the growing pregnancy.
As yours is a high risk pregnancy, please take the injections as prescribed
They can be stopped after the first trimester is over.
There should be no complications, as the cardiac activity should be visible by now.
Still, take rest, avoid stress, intercourse and jerky travelling.
Take all medications without skipping.
Please take daily folic acid tablets and progesterone as supportive.
All the best
