View allI'm a bit anxious about my pregnancy because I had a miscarriage back in February. Now my doctor has suggested taking Susten SR 400 mg in the early stages of this pregnancy. I'm already taking Folvec, Ecosprin 75, and some vitamins. Is it really safe to take this high dosage of Susten SR right now?
Susten SR 400 mg is a high dose of progesterone, typically recommended for women with a history of miscarriage or preterm labor, and while it's generally considered safe, it's essential to follow your doctor's guidance and monitoring, especially when combined with other medications like Folvac, Ecosprin 75, and vitamins, to minimize potential risks and ensure a healthy pregnancy

I'm a new mom with a 4-month-old baby, and I'm breastfeeding. I'm worried about finding a safe emergency contraceptive pill that won't affect my breast milk. Could you let me know if options like ipill or Unwanted 72 are safe to use while I'm nursing?
For breastfeeding mothers, the World Health Organization recommends using progestin-only emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs), such as Ulipristal acetate (not available in India) or Levonorgestrel (available in India as Unwanted-72 or similar formulations), which are safer than combined estrogen-progestin pills like i-pill; however, it's essential to consult your GYNAECOLOGIST before taking any ECP while breastfeeding.
