[|AI|]  Hi there,Both Primal and Progestin are forms of progesterone and given safely in pregnancy. They are given in women whom we suspect to have threatened abortion to prevent from losing the pregnancy. Any one form of the progesterone is fine, you need not take both. They both have similar effectiveness and since you are taking progestin you should continue it. And more so if your cervix is long and closed the likelihood of you losing this pregnancy is very small. You need to relax and be positive, once reached 16 weeks and with cervix closed and no prior history of miscarriage, you are very unlikely to miscarry. Please continue the progestin till 24 weeks and relax. Also continue the Folic acid and other vitamins you may be taking. Anxiety and stress will only make matters worse, continue the progestin. Hope this helps. Regards.
