The study involved more than 1200 women who were considered to be at an increased risk of premature delivery, because of a previous pre-term birth or because they had lost a baby late in pregnancy.
Half of the women were given progesterone while the rest received a placebo pill.
The team found that treatment with progesterone made no difference to premature birth rates and offered no notable health benefit either to mothers or babies.
More than 64 hospitals from around the UK were involved in the research, which was led by the Tommy's Centre for Maternal and Fetal Health at the University of Edinburgh.
