Brief Answer:
It is not because of regesterone.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I can understand your concerns.
Regesterone is a progesterone hormone and usually causes diarrhoea not constipation.
If you are having constipation you should drink a lot of water, eat more whole wheat products, less carbohydrate and low fat diet, eat lots of fruits and vegetables and you can take isabgul husk with warm milk in night.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Good luck.
Regards
