Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The mild brownish spotting is sometimes seen in early pregnancy which suggests an incomplete placental attachment. Progesterone is given to enhance the attachment and to avoid an early abortion. You are getting the right treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
