5w3d: looking for reassurance

I’m 5w3d with my second pregnancy. I’ve never miscarried, but struggled with low progesterone with my first pregnancy. Needed suppositories twice daily and an oral once per day from 6-16 weeks.

Initial labs at 4w2d indicated hcg around 700 and progesterone at 21.4. Retested yesterday and just got the call with results: hcg is now over 9,000, but my progesterone dropped to 16.

Starting an oral progesterone asap and we’ve scheduled an ultrasound and OB appointment for Wednesday, 6w1d.

I guess I’m looking for positive thoughts that it’s not a lost cause yet. I’m still nauseous and have tender breasts, which have been my main pregnancy symptoms. But my progesterone never got this low with my daughter....is the nice increase in HCG encouraging?
