Hi, I have gone through your question. Primulet depo injection is progesterone which supports the pregnancy by making uterine environment more favourable for foetus. Cyclogest is also progesterone.
Both have similar actions.
There is no harm to the mother or the fetus by its intake during pregnancy.
I would suggest you to follow your doctor's advice.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
