Yes, both natural micronised progesterone sustained release tablets and progesterone softgel capsules 200mg are commonly prescribed during pregnancy to support the luteal phase and prevent miscarriage, especially in cases of progesterone deficiency. However, it's essential to follow your doctor's guidance for safe usage during pregnancy.

I'm really worried because I used the mankind unwanted kit for abortion on the 26th of March and started bleeding the next day. It's been 9 days now, and I'm still experiencing a lot of bleeding and quite a bit of pain. The kit mentioned that bleeding could last anywhere from 9 to 16 days, so I'm uncertain if I should just wait it out or if I should consult a gynecologist right away. Is this normal, or should I be concerned and get it checked? What would be the best course of action here?
