Hi, thanks for writing..
Since you had contractions,history of miscarriage and premature delivery, its better to take progesterone as it maintains pregnancy.. Side effects of progesterone are there but its advantage is more than disadvantages. You can take it atleast once a day. You can stop it if there is no contractions. Hope I have answered your queries. Good day
