Is It Safe To Take High Dose Of Progesterone During Pregnancy?

Hi,
My close friend got conceived after trying for a long time.. They even went to the infertility center and found that her husband had low motility/mobility of sperms.. but still the doc advised them to try the natural way and luckily she got conceived naturally. Now, when they went to the doctor, the doctor has prescribed her heavy doses of medicines.They have asked her to take Folic acid with 11mg, gestone tablet.They have not even tested her for progestrone hormone and prescribed it. Is it safe to take these high doses during normal/natural pregnancy?
