      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: In order to randomize the samples, we use the block method with blocks of four. In this way, one of the following blocks is first chosen randomly (for example, with a dice) and according to the order of that, the samples are assigned to two groups. (A for the oral dydrogesterone group and B for the progesterone group (for example, if block three is selected and the first sample will be assigned to the group receiving dydrogesterone, the second and third samples will be assigned to the progesterone group, and the fourth sample will be assigned to the group receiving dydrogesterone. For the next four samples, we will randomly select a block again and perform the allocation according to it, and this process will continue until the end of the sampling, Blinding description: The blinding process is done in such a way that one group receives 3 oral pills of 10 mg of Dydrogesterone and a placebo vaginal suppository similar to vaginal progesterone, and the other group receives 3 oral placebo pills similar to Dydrogesterone in terms of size, color and shape, which is a complication for the mother and does not have a fetus, they are studied by uninformed people along with vaginal progesterone.</study_design>

Intervention 2: Control group: The oral dydrogesterone group will receive 30 mg of dydrogesterone tablets and a similar placebo suppository (vaginal glycerin suppository).</i_freetext>
