Hi I think I've you didn't have any abortion previously and uoh are not having any pain or bleeding now, then you can stop taking this. Actually it is a progesterone which is given to support the pregnancy. But it has side effects like headache and acne. Weight gain should be there during pregnancy. Don't worry about that. Acne will also be there because hormones will increase.
