Abstract
Despite the lack of evidence-based knowledge, indications for the use of progestogen during pregnancy have been broadened. A number of preventive and therapeutic indications for its use in pregnancy - bleeding in early gestation, primary prophylaxis of miscarriages and recurrent abortions, prophylaxis after amniocentesis, hypertensive pregnancy disorders and prevention of preterm delivery - are critically discussed on the basis of the latest studies and meta-analyses.
