I have been given utrogestan vaginal suppositories to stop my bleeding and restart it again so i can begin fertility treatment. i was scared to take provera due to blood clot risks stated on them. are these vaginal suppositories safer? scared to die?

Blood clots are associated with estrogen rather than progesterone, and unfortunately the Provera black box warning conflates the two. Utrogestan is a natural progesterone that avoids that confusion and is probably a better choice. In any case your risk of clots is very small.
