Hi and thank you so much for this query.
It is safe to take this drug durng pregnancy. It is the same natural occurring hormone that is being produced during pregnancy to help the fetus grow. I suspect the doctor seem to think there is a deficiency and he wants to correct it.It is safe but I will like you to ask him what the exact reasons for prescribing this medications are.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarification should need be.
