Hi,
Progesterone supplements are given to prevent miscarriage. How effective they are is still debatable.
But you do not need to take it by two routes either pill or injection would suffice.
But if your wife does not have any risk factors for miscarriage, and if this is her first pregnancy and no spotting, no bleeding, then she need not worry .
Folic acid and proper healthy diet are more important.
Hope this helps.
