Can I Take Progynova Tablets During Pregnancy?

Hi, I have recently conceived. My betaHCG level is 1103.8. Is this fine? The doctor has put me on Duphaston (3 times a day), Progynova (3 times a day), Bromocriptine (1/2 + 1/2 tablet twice a day) and folic acid (1 time a day). Are these medicines fine and what are they for? I read over the Internet Progynova is not given to pregnant women?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Hcg level above 25 mlU / ml confirms pregnancy. But after that it rises fast ( 50% -60% rise in every 2 days ).. so a single reading can not determine weather it's fine or not.
The medicines given to you can be given in pregnancy in certain conditions ... when their benefit is greater tahn it's side effects.
- Duphaston is an essential hormone needed for maintenance of pregnancy. It is very safe in pregnancy.
-Progynova , has low hormonal content.. which is not observed to cause side effects on fetus. So it can be given ( while careful monitoring pregnancy ).. in case of hypogonadism.Or in cases of embryo transfer.
- Bromocryptin is given specially in cases of hypo gonadism ( low hormonal levels ) .. due to pitutary problems . It can be given safely with due care in such condition.
- Folic acid is a vitamin which prevents fetal malformations ( spinal abnormalities)
I hope you are convinced about safety of the drugs .. specially these being prescribed by your doctor( who is well versed with your health & problems ). Still in case of doubt, second opinion of an expert Embryologist can be taken.
* Continue them as per advise strictly & have a regular follow ups / investigations as recommended by your doctor.
Thanks.
