I was on progesterone since I confirmed I was pregnant. I have miscarried in the past. I'm convinced progesterone id's the only reason why I'll be meeting my lovely daughter here in 2 weeks

Also on progesterone, to stop miscarriage because j don't produce enough naturally. I've miscarried before but this time all is going well so far (touch wood) so I think the pills are making a difference!  I have no side effects from the pills so can't see any reason not to take them, anything that helps baby...

I'm on progesterone tablets and weekly shots too. It is used in high risk pregnancies.

As far as i know it helps prevent a misscariage, but only in some cases. If there is a genetic problem it will not help. I'm on progesterone too and also on a low activity and lots of rest. Hope it all goes well this time

It's supposed to because it is a hormone you need during pregnancy. Did you have a miscarriage before? They usually only prescribe that if you have had a miscarriage or multiple miscarriages before, that's why I ask.
