Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Micronized progesterone is a natural form of progesterone derived from plants, which resembles human hormone.
Progesterone supplementation in pregnancy might be required for continuation of pregnancy and to prevent abortion, under the circumstances when endogenous production of hormone might not be adequate.
Kindly take the medication as suggested by your doctor and do the necessary follow-up as advised.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
