Hello
Microgest 200 mg ( progesterone ) is prescribed for recurrent miscarriage w/progestrone deficiency .
The normal dosage varies from doctor to doctor and from patient to patient.
This is advised for 12 to 16 weeks .
But few doctor also advise this medicine for another 20 -22 weeks of pregnancy without any side effects .
So your doctor is right and , you can take this drug safely for another couples of days as advised your gynecologist .
This is a natural component so safe for pregnancy.
Good luck.
