Anyone taking steroids, aspirin and progesterone?

[Calcifer]

Hello ladies, has anyone else been prescribed a low dose of steroids, aspirin and progesterone to support their early pregnancy? Can I ask if you've had any side effects? I'm assured i'm on the smallest dose available.

I have been on progesterone for my last 4 pregnancies, and baby aspirin for my last one up to 36 weeks and this one since my bfp!
Progesterone tends to give me headaches but it's manageable. Also I take it vaginally and the discharge is annoying but also manageable!!

Thanks! I'm just a bit nervous about the side effects of progesterone or the fact that, if i don't actually need it, am i overdosing the embryo with progesterone... anyway the doctor knows what he's doing

I wason 400MG of vaginal progesterone daily. The doctor told me you can't overdose on progesterone. Not sure if that is the consensus of the medical community or not, but I was seeing a specialist so I decided she knows better than I do!

I've been on progesterone for all of my successful pregnancies, though I didn't need it til 9 weeks with this current one. My dr has said you can't harm the baby by taking progesterone even if you don't need it.

As for the rest, I've been on baby aspirin for all of my successful pgs as well and two years ago, we found out I have a clotting disorder. I am on 2 baby aspirin a day, 200 mg of progesterone once a day, and high dose folate (2mg per day) though I'll be coming off the progesterone within the next few weeks and will likely drop down to one baby aspirin a day til 35 weeks around the same time.
