Brief Answer:
it supports pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
There is no evidence that progesterone as oral or vaginal medication causes miscarriage & much evidence that it is supportive for early pregnancy & reduces preterm birth in at risk patients . Also , mostof it is cleared during the first pass metabolism by liver and the remaining that is absorbed by GI tract infact supports continuation of pregnancy.
