I haven't heard of getting progesterone to terminate a pregnancy, but I'm not a doctor.  I'd recommend contacting your doctor as well. Typically, they prefer to do a D&C to reduce risk of infection or other complications.

Call your doctor back and tell him ... you do not want to risk an infection as it could make you sterile.
