Very unlikely: Sufficient progesterone in its natural form is vital in preparing the uterus to allow the embryo to implant securely. However, after about 12 weeks of pregnancy, the placenta takes the job of maintaining the pregnancy and progesterone supplement is no longer needed, The fact that you have normal HCG is a sign that the pregnancy is proceeding normally. At next visit, a heartbeat can be detected

I am around 5 week pregnant (last period was on 10-Sep). My Hcg hormone level is 800+ Miu/ml and progesterone 26.2 ng/ml. Because I have history of miscarriages i was advised to take cyclogest pessaries (2 per day). Will this cause birth defects?
