Too many medications early pregnancy

Question

Asked for Female, 32 Years

Hi, I am 7 weeks pregnant. Conceived naturally in 2 months. I have a healthy bmi of 20, age 32, no health issues and this is my first pregnancy and have no family history of miscarriage. My dr has put me on progesterone from week 5 which I don't understand why. At 6w3d USG minimal subchronical hematoma has come. Although all else is good and fetal heart rate is 116bpm. Dr doubled my progesterone post this. I am taking susten 200mg twice daily, duphaston 10mg twice daily. Have also been asked to take aquasusten 25mg injection once a week. Have been put in bed rest for a week. Are all these progesterone tablets really required?
