Continued Bleeding From 10 Months. TTC. Suggested Duofem Contraceptive After Scanning. Advised Continuing?

I'm 30years old and I've been bleeding for 10months now. I met gynaecologist and recomended I did some tests like DUB, scanning etc. After those tests, he prescribed DUOFEM for me, he said that it will stop the bleeding but I discovered that duofem is a contraceptive, so I'm worried because I'm trying to get pregnant. Please is it okay to continue with the drug?

Hello,

DUOFEM is a combined oral contraceptive pill and it should not be continued if you want to conceive at present.

Instead of that, you can take combination of progesterone pill and tranexamic acid group of drug to arrest bleeding. It can be used in DUB also. So, you must consult with your gynecologist regarding this and take a prescription.

Till then, you maintain your genital hygiene and take folic acid supplements for 3 month in preconception stage.

Good luck.
