Why is progesterone injection given during pregnancy?

Question

My doctor suggested I might need progesterone injections during my pregnancy, but didn't explain much. I'm a little confused and want to understand why these injections are given.

i just delivered my baby boy and let me tell u, those progesterone shots are painful but totally worth it. my gynac gave them to me to prevent early labor. they basically help to keep the uterus lining strong.

i had to take these injections because my hormone levels were slightly low in the first trimester. i was so scared of miscarrying and kept googling all night. but honestly, it is just to support the pregnancy and prevent any spotting.

progesterone can make your morning sickness even worse, which was a nightmare for me. but it is essential to support the pregnancy, especially if there's any risk. try hot fermentation if the injection site hurts.

during my treatment at the luxury clinic, the head nurse explained that progesterone is the pregnancy-maintaining hormone. the injection is given to prevent preterm delivery or if there is bleeding history. always clarify with your senior doctor if u feel any pain at the injection site.

my doctor also prescribed progesterone injections till the 16th week because of mild cramping. did anyone else get bad swelling or lumps on the hips from them? i feel so sore sometimes.

i had progesterone support because of my weak cervix, which later led to a planned C-section. the injections were tough but they successfully held my baby in till full term. trust your medical team, they know what's best.
