Progestin is a form of progesterone, a hormone that plays a role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Progestin is used in combination with another hormone called estrogen in combined hormonal birth control pills, the vaginal ring, and the skin patch. It also can be used by itself in progestin-only pills and the birth control injection. The birth control implant and the hormonal intrauterine device also are progestin-only forms of birth control and are discussed in FAQ Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC): IUD and Implant.
The question is, did the low progesterone levels cause a miscarriage or did the impending miscarriage cause the low progesterone levels? In trying to help prevent miscarriages, some doctors began prescribing progesterone supplements in pregnancy to prevent miscarriage. The most common form of progesterone treatment is vaginal suppositories. These are usually a once a day treatment. You simply wash your hands and unwrap the suppository.
