PCOD in Early Pregnancy: Myo‑D‑Chiro Inositol and Progesterone Guidance - #22857

Hello Ashna Congratulations on your pregnancy! It’s an exciting time, and it’s great that you’re seeking guidance on managing your health during this period.

Myo-D-Chiro Inositol - Continue Taking It? Myo-D-chiro inositol is often used to help with insulin sensitivity and ovarian function in women with PCOD. While some studies suggest it may be beneficial during pregnancy, it’s essential to consult your healthcare provider before continuing any supplements during pregnancy. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation.

Progesterone Supplements - Need for Supplements? Women with PCOD may have a higher risk of low progesterone levels, which can affect early pregnancy. Your doctor may recommend progesterone supplements if they believe you are at risk for miscarriage or if you have a history of low progesterone. It’s best to discuss this with your healthcare provider, who can assess your hormone levels and overall health to determine if supplementation is necessary.

Next Steps - Schedule an appointment with your obstetrician or healthcare provider to discuss these questions and any other concerns you may have. - They can provide tailored advice and monitor your pregnancy closely, especially considering your PCOD.

Better visit gynecologist and do proper evaluation and monitor your drugs accordingly.

Thank you

Hello

Congratulations dear

Ok about Myo-D-chiro inositol: Generally safe in early pregnancy Often continued till 10–12 weeks, especially in PCOD, as it may help insulin balance and reduce early miscarriage risk Confirm dose with your doctor, but do not stop suddenly unless advised

Progesterone supplementation PCOD alone does NOT automatically mean you need progesterone

Progesterone is usually given only if: You have spotting/bleeding History of recurrent miscarriage Low progesterone on blood test Conceived with assisted cycles and doctor prefers support

If you have no pain, no bleeding, progesterone may not be required, but many doctors still prescribe it as a precaution in early weeks.

Continue inositol for now Progesterone — doctor decides case-by-case, not mandatory for all PCOD pregnancies

Arrange your first antenatal visit + scan at 6–7 weeks

I trust this helps Take care Stay happy and healthy Thank you !
