No. Natural progesterone does not harm the foetus. 200 mg is not a large dose and many of the symptoms you were experiencing could be attributed to pregnancy itself. I rarely use PG in pregnancy since there is lack of evidence that its use improves pregnancy outcomes in normal natural pregnancies. in any case if you do not need it you are better off without it
