<bot>: Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. Progesterone is a hormone that helps maintenance of pregnancy by supporting fetal growth & implantation.... till placenta is formed & starts producing progesterone to take over fetal development & security. That is around 12-14 weeks of pregnancy.  So once started, progesterone is up to 14 weeks of pregnancy /till the doctor prefers according to need of pregnancy or till the pregnancy is saved from getting aborted (as in previous pregnancy).  * you should see the doctor before the pills are over or at least the last pill is taken, before the next pill is due / In case you can not see the doctor in time... continue the pills till you see her/ him (so that there won't be a gap in pills, in case doctor wants to continue the pills further) Thanks
