Yes: Folic acid is important to decrease the risk of birth defects and susten which is progesterone and can be used orally, vaginally, or rectally is used to decrease the risk of miscarriage int hose who are threatening to miscarry or have had several miscarriages.The risk is very low and a dose of 200-300 mg./day is sometimes used without blood levels.Good luck.Your concern says you will be a good mom
