Progesterone treatment in women with a threatened miscarriage remains controversial after reviewing the available literature.

Progesterone treatment in women with a threatened miscarriage remains controversial after reviewing the available literature. BJOG. 2020 May 07;: Authors: Hooker AB Abstract Approximately 20% of pregnant women will experience vaginal bleeding during the first half of their pregnancy, also known as threatened miscarriage (Everett. BMJ 1997;135:32-4). Progesterone has been postulated as a possible treatment option in order to reduce the chance of a miscarriage, but the evidence is limited (Wahabi et al. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2018;8:CD005943). Whether administration of progesterone could improve live birth has not been assessed yet. PMID: 32378299 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
