Can Cyclacur And Utrogestan Be Safely Taken During A Pregnancy?

HI there,

I had a miscarriage in December (my 1st pregnancy) and following various test was diagnosed with positive heterozygous MTHFR gene mutation c677T.

When I found out I was pregnant (at 3 weeks) my doctor put me on innohep which I am now doing. He has now recommend I start taking Cyclacur (Estrogen) and Ultragestan (Progesterone) as a preventative measure.

I am very anti-drug and am scared of taking these additional drugs which I have read are linke to cancer. What should I do?

Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

Sorry to hear about your previous miscarriage. I'd the reason for the same was gene mutation , you need to take active form of Vitamin Folic acid. This will help you to utilise the Folic acid, and will help prevent various other complications of pregnancy.

Progesterone is usually prescribed to help support pregnancy till 14 weeks, till placenta gets fully developed. There is no harm in taking natural micronized progesterone.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
