Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Lupigest contains
progesterone.
Progesterone is the hormone that supports the growing
pregnancy.
It is given to women with high risk pregnancies.
If she has had prior abortions, or a risk of abortion in the current pregnancy, progesterone is indicated.
Symptoms could include pain in the lower abdomen, spotting or feeling of pressure in the pubic area.
Also, if there is
advanced maternal age, or family history of abnormal babies or
recurrent miscarriages, even then, progesterone is indicated.
In the absence of any risk factors in the pregnancy, there is no real indication for progesterone support.
However there are no major side effects of this drug.
You can safely take it in the first trimester.
All the best
Take care.
