She prescribed me progesterone hormone tablets. Tommorrow again i have to for ultrasound. I m so worried. What can be the chances of survival of the foetus.

Hello
Progesterone is prescribed in early weeks to support pregnancy.It is a supplementary hormone to support pregnancy.
It is not only advised for heart beat correction.
It is advised in risky cases that may be aborted in early weeks.Findings like fetal heart beat,over all growth of fetus etc are expected to improve.It will be cleared by ultrasound.
You don't worry and wish for best results.
