Hello dear,I.understand your concern.In my opinion the utrogestan can be taken orally or vaginally.With vaginal insertion the absorption is better and systemic sideeffects like nausea,headache are less than oral intake.But there is no harm to you or your baby with oral intake.So relax.Take panadol for headache.Avoid painkillers in pregnancy.
