Low pregesterone and low hcg

in 1st Trimester
Hi, i had a miscarriage in August of this year. I am pregnant again and I will be considered 7 weeks since my last menstrual cycle. I know I ovulated on nov 15th so really about 3 1/2 weeks. My first lab work came back at 249 hcg then 5 days later my hcg came back at 517 and progesterone level 8.4. My dr started me on prometrium 200mg once daily. Has anyone else had low levels and was started on progesterone and did not miscarry? I am really worried I am going to loose this pregnancy also. Please give me hope!

    Sorry to hear this @samanthaillig .....In my experience slow rising numbers, even when I got on prometrium, was an indicator of what later turned into an ectopic pregnancy.   Your experience might be totally different than mine and I can get behind wanting to hear success stories, but this might be one of those "prepare for the worst, hope for the best" kind of situations for you. Best of luck.
