Progesterone: This is a type of Progesterone injection. For people at risk of preterm delivery it is often given in a specific way. I am not familiar with any evidence suggesting a benefit of a one time dose before travel. If you are at high risk of preterm labor then you probably should not be getting on a plane. Clarify the plan and your unique pregnancy risk assessment with your doctor before traveling.
