Should not, but safe: Progesterone is produced by the ovary and the placenta in all pregnancies in extremely large quantities; additional Progesterone may be required in medically indicated situations (e.g. Ivf, short cervix, prior preterm birth), however not in the form of provera (medroxyprogesterone). Some women get pregnant while on depo-provera (medroxyprogesterone) and their babies do just fine. However i would not recommend taking Provera (medroxyprogesterone) while pregnant.
