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
