Tw pregnancy after loss and progesterone

We had our loss back in feb this year.

I’m pregnant again and my tests have been as follows

5 weeks 1 day - HCG 10,000 - progesterone -55
5 weeks 3 (and a half) days - HCG 16,000 - progesterone 38

My doctor has Given me 90mg of progesterone cream pessaries to use twice a day

What are my chances like?

Also is it normal and healthy for progesterone to drop like this around the 5-6 week mark?

Some people need more progesterone in the beginning because usually that’s something the placenta produces but the placenta isn’t developed until 10-12 weeks. So you may need extra progesterone until then or even throughout pregnancy. Chances can be good with interventions and supplementations

Anyone else full of doubts now?

Hi all,
I'm just going to preface this by saying I've not enjoyed pregnancy at all and I've felt super guilty about it the whole time. The third trimester is just really taking its toll on me though, I've got awful pelvic girdle pain which I've had for at least the last 5 weeks (I'm currently 37 weeks), I'm tired, I'm irritable and I'm feeling really down about my appearance at the moment. I've put on quite a bit of weight and I hate looking at myself in the mirror now.
This last couple of weeks I've just been feeling so full of anxiety. This was very much a planned and wanted pregnancy (it's my second pregnancy, my first ended in miscarriage) but I'm not a maternal person at all, I've never had an interest in babies and I'm terrified I'm just going to be a useless mother. I don't have my own mum to help me or guide me, I lost her when I was little and my dad never remarried so I feel like I've never even had a good female role model.
I'm just starting to panic that I'm about to ruin my life and my relationship and wondered if anyone else is feeling this way. If it's just nerves because I'm so near the end now. I want more than anything to fall in love with my baby as soon as I see them but I'm terrified I'm going to feel nothing and then feel like the worst mother on the planet.

Anxiety overload

U am 18 weeks pregnant and not felt anything yet. I've also not really got a bump (just look like i have gained weight)
How do you know all is fine other than not bleeding! I am pregnant after loss so anxiety is high anyways.
Any advice would be helpful 🙂
