What Causes Headache While Taking Progesterone During Pregnancy?

Im currently 4 months prrgnant, and have been taking progesterone shots to help keep me from going to pre term labor. I am just concerned because I have been having chronic headaches. Will I ever overcome the headaches or is that a sign for me to stop treatment? Thank you.. -CS
