Before prescribing progesterone its is suggested to get and ultrasound and an endometrial biopsy done and then progesterone can be started according the reports.
Also instead of oral progesterone, mirena IUD is a suitable alternative

Bleeding more than 7 days is abnormal
Rather than a random prescription of progesterone you need investigations to find out the reason for the abnormality
