Does the use of progesterone after pregnancy bleeding have an impact on the child?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Bleeding occurred at 20 days of pregnancy, around day 25. During this period, 10 injections of 20MG progesterone were administered, and oral Shupuybao Tai Ling was taken for 10 days. The bleeding volume has decreased. Does this indicate improvement? Should treatment continue? Are the medications harmful to the child?
Duration and persistence of the current illness: 25 days
Current general condition: Slight bleeding
Previous diagnoses, treatments, and outcomes: An ultrasound showed a normal pregnancy, not an ectopic pregnancy. Progesterone injections (20MG per day) were prescribed, along with oral Shupuybao Tai Ling (3 times a day, 5 tablets per dose), and salbutamol sulfate tablets.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, progesterone is a progestogen, and it is usually supplemented to prevent miscarriage when progesterone levels are low. As for whether it can cause you to have birth defects, there have been reports that it can occasionally cause genital malformations. Generally, doctors recommend that women with risk signs of prenatal examination should rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. In addition, patients should also create an environment that is conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
