Hi,
Both the drugs are derivatives of a female hormone Progesterone useful in the maintenance of pregnancy. Only dose differs.
In my view at least 10 mg pill twice a day should be given for 8-10 days. In case there is a risk of a portion.
Your doctor must have given the dose judging your pregnancy. So better you should discuss the thing with the doctor.. &follow the advice given.
Ovarian cyst of 2 cm. most of the times disappear on its own likely to interfere with pregnancy. Your doctor would follow it up to exclude any problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
