1st IUI, 2WW and progesterone question

Good morning!
I've just had my first IUI, and am feeling great. The doctor mentioned, after the procedure, that she likes to put everyone on progesterone suppositories as a protective measure post IUI. So far, we've done everything naturally this cycle, wanting to find out what my body will do on its own. So, my instinct is to not do the suppositories as there was nothing in my hormone levels that caused her to make the recommendation- it's just her blanket policy for everyone who comes in.
Does anyone have thoughts/ experiences/ data/ opinions one way or the other? Also, I'm doing acupuncture for fertility, which does increase blood flow to the uterus and help to support attachment. I'm just a little torn on the suppository issue, and need to give my doc an answer soon.
Thanks!!
