Progesterone success??

Question

So I won't go into detail to describe my anxiety about this situation! I'm just curious what y'all think!

I first got pregnant in February 2016 (miscarried), had a chemical pregnancy in April 2016, and am 5w6d pregnant today (according to ultrasound last week). I've had slow rising HCG for over a week and I go back in tomorrow at 6w to have it tested again. My levels have been-
(Clearblue digital states 2-3 on 6-10 so levels should have at least been 200.)
6-14, 4w4d, Beta 397
6-17, 5w, Beta 486
6-20, 5w3d, Beta 610
I begged my doctor to test my progesterone, which was a whopping 7.2. He agreed to start me on progesterone although he doesn't believe it will help. Taking 2 vaginal suppositories (Crinone) per day. Do you have hope my levels will show a greater rise tomorrow? Or should I expect to miscarry again?

Answer

I had a miscarriage back in March and my doctor tested my progesterone the next cycle and it was 8.4. She put me on caginal suppositories twice a day after ovulation until I got a BFN then I stopped. This cycle, I got a BFP and am continuing on the progesterone through the first trimester. I am currently 7w1 day. My hCG levels have never been higher and my progesterone the last time it was checked was 41! I had some light spotting around 4w4d and was worried so I talked to my doctor. My hCG was more than doubled again and the doctor told me she has no reason to worry as my numbers look extremely good. Now I am not sure if the progesterone is what's helping this time or if it's just a much healthier pregnancy in general, but it's worth a shot. I will do anything to be able to have a happy healthy baby. If it mean being super uncomfortable with progesterone, I'll take it.  Not all doctors are on the same page with what progesterone does since there isn't enough studies on it, but if there's a even a slight chance it could help, why not try?  Good for you and asking your doctor to check it. I hope this helps and you have a happy healthy pregnancy.
