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.

I have ovarian cyst 5738mm with internal septation is this curable with medician or surgery

A large ovarian cyst (5738mm, which is 5.738 cm) with internal septation is unlikely to be curable with medication alone. surgery is needed for larger or persistent cysts, or those with concerning features like internal septation. While some cysts resolve spontaneously or with hormonal contraception, surgical removal (like a cystectomy) is often necessary for larger cysts or if there's suspicion of malignancy.
