Hi
Kindly avoid regesterone.Consider desogesterol instead after consulting your gynaecologist.Do serial beta hcg first if you r not menstruating.If you started with periods then take daily this tab from day 1 of cycle. For 1st 7 days of starting the medicines , use condom as contraception.
Hope that was helpful.Let me know if i can assist you further.
