  4. Health Queries for Progynova 2 mg Tablet 28's

  5. I am taking Progynova 2 mg Tablet twice daily and Duphaston 10 mg Tablet twice daily from Day 18 to Day 28 of my cycle. I started experiencing severe pain during my period. I read that headaches and heavy periods are typical side effects of Duphaston 10 mg Tablet. My IVF cycle will begin soon. Is there an alternative to Duphaston 10 mg Tablet with fewer side effects?

You should talk to your doctor or gynaecologist about the pain you are experiencing, as they may adjust your Duphaston tablet (dydrogesterone) dosage or suggest an alternative progesterone with fewer side effects, such as Utrogestan. Do not stop or change the Duphaston tablet on your own, especially before IVF, as it is essential for preparing your womb lining.

  1. Understanding Duphaston and Its Role

    • Duphaston (Dydrogesterone) is used in IVF to support the uterine lining and regulate hormones.

  2. Common Side Effects

    • Typical side effects include headaches and heavy periods, which may contribute to your severe menstrual pain.

  3. Alternatives to Duphaston

    • Consider micronized progesterone (e.g., Utrogestan) as an alternative. It may have fewer side effects and can be administered orally, vaginally, or by injection.

  4. Consult Your Fertility Specialist

    • Discuss side effects and alternatives with your IVF specialist to tailor treatment to your needs.

  5. Additional Supportive Measures

    • Explore pain management strategies for menstrual pain and monitor symptoms during your IVF cycle.
