What Will Be The Effects Of Taking Progesterone Capsules During Pregnancy?

Hello Dr,
I tested positive after I missed my period. This is 10th day today. I have done early morning urine test by I-can kit. Its positive. Me nd my husband went to our consultant and he has proposed some medicines including Progesterone soft gelatine capsule 200 mg to intake via vagina. We do not get any details. Is it normal? what will be the effect of this capsule?
