Yes, Primolut-N, a type of progesterone, would be appropriate to prescribe to stop your uterine bleeding.
I understand your concern about using a drug without really knowing what you are putting in your body. However, it is also important to weight the pros/cons, and to be seeing a doctor whom you trust. All good, trustworthy, reputable doctors prescribe medication when it is helpful, mandatory and safe to do so, compared to the condition they are treating. You also want to consider other factors, including the duration of prescription (few months, few years, lifetime). In your situation, it is more crucial to stop your uterine bleeding to avoid complications of excess bleeding...compared to possible side effects of this medication.
You can review the side effects of the medication on your patient information brochure; most of them are "typical" of hormone-containing medications (possible headache, etc), with the more severe side effects pertaining mostly to individuals who have a pre-existing condition (seizures, for example). It is always a good idea to review this written information that comes with your prescription.
For many women, they are able to conceive soon after a miscarriage without risk. For you, specifically, you would need to talk with your doctor about your individual health conditions (once your bleeding stops, of course), and ask about when you can try to conceive again. Don't let your age dictate (too much)...you are still young (really!!!) and it is more important to focus on healing first.
We wish you the best! Let us know if you have any additional questions.
