Progesterone for preventing miscarriage

Cristina

I’m 45 and six weeks and six days this is my first pregnancy!

I went to my first prenatal appointment and although the doctor said my progesterone and hCG levels were normal they recommend progesterone suppositories twice a day to avoid miscarriage!

They also recommend I take a daily baby aspirin to prevent blood clots!

Has anybody had the same recommendations? Is there any side effects?
