Progesterone is a hormone used to support the pregnancy. This hormone is also produced by the body from the ovaries. The same is given mostly in the form of injection or orally or vaginal application. Sometimes pregnancy loss do happen because of inadequate progesterone. It also keeps the uterus quiet .It is safe in pregnancy.
