You don't always need progesterone. Better to consult one doctor to avoid confusion. You can discuss these things with your doctor as well. It's not a problem.

Consultation required. Prescription of progesterone in early pregnancy depends on various factors. Since u are more than 35 years of age better to take it as above 35 years risk of spontaneous abortion is higher around 25%
