What Causes Bleeding During 6 Weeks Of Pregnancy?

Hi, I m 38.5 year old female. I have two daughters aged 6 and 4, and I ve had 2 miscarriages after that, both ended up bleeding. I m currently pregnant again at week 9. I ve also been informed to bed rest during my first trimester as I experienced bleeding in week 6 and 7. I m taking duphaston twice a day, and I was wondering if I can cut down to 1 pill a day, because my morning sickness Is so bad, that anti nausea medicine isn t really helping, and I can t keep my food down. Even water sometimes I vomit. Before pregnancy I was 51.8kg but now I am 48.5kg. So my main question is, I am at high risks but is it ok to cut down to 1 tablet of duphaston to ease the morning sickness, so I can keep some food and drinks down? Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for asking,I understand your concern.
Duphaston is a progesterone preparation.. it's ahormone that supports pregnancy & avoids abortion if taken properly at regular time without a gap.
* It seems you have excessive morning sickness & you are thinking it to be due to Duphaston pill & want to withdraw one pill with the hope to reduce morning sickness.
- Please don't do it, for if you reduce the dose, the pregnancy support would be withdrawn & bleeding may increase to end in abortion.
I would suggest a visit & discussion with your treating gynecologist & find a way out.
-Yes, as you guess it can be gastritis stimulated by taking Duphaston on an empty stomach So instead you can discuss with your doctor to switch on on inject-able .progesterone& withdraw the oral pills.
Again addition of Rantidine 150 mg twice a day alon with vomiting medicine can help control vomiting.
* Please understand, morning sickness is one of the signs of pregnancy,, & it's aught to be present till you get adjusted with pregnancy hormones.
- Iv drips of normal saline/ glucose with (B1B6B12) iv injection would help you combating the stress.
Thus altering mode of medication you can easily overcome morning sickness & bleeding too.. You can digest food & nourish your baby too .. with advise & support of your doctor.
Thanks.
