Intro to group and progesterone levels concern

Hi everyone! I have been TTC for 3 years. We had 1 NA pregnancy that ended in a mc at 9 weeks. Several IUIs and 1 IVF and now luckily pregnant again at 34, soon to be 35!

I'm currently 7+3. I was confirmed pregnant at 3+5 with an HCG of 126.12 and Prog of 17. Follow up 2 days later and HCG was 394.30. Because this was an IUI my clinic did an early ultrasound and at 5+5 the baby looked great and was even measuring a couple days ahead. 
Shortly after I noticed my symptoms dwindling (this occurred when I had a mc at 9 weeks) so I panicked. My OB was just able to get me in finally at 7+1. We found a heartbeat but she said the baby is measuring around 6+2(4) and then today I got my Progesterone back and it's a 10 so they are starting me on 200mg vaginally or 400mg orally my choice. 
I am so concerned as my first pregnancy the baby stopped growing and ended in the mc. I go in Monday for my HCG to be rechecked and compared to Thursday. 
Any one else have similar stories and have a healthy baby? Thanks!

    Hi there! I don’t have experience with progesterone, but my sister does. She went through 5 mc’s, and they discovered that it was a progesterone problem. So they put her on the suppositories as soon as she found out she was pregnant again. She now has 3 healthy boys! Best of luck to you!

    Thank you! I wondered if I had the same issue but they just chalked up my first loss to genetics. :( and never investigated it further. 
    I asked for progesterone right away because other clinics I've been to use it but this one doesn't so I was so concerned. I hope we still have a chance now that I'm on it! Thanks for your hope!

    I just had my first OB appointment and my progesterone levels were at 9.26. :(My HCG levels were great though  and my doctor put me on 200 mg of progesterone. Has anyone had anything similar and had a successful pregnancy? I am between 6 and 7 weeks. Thanks so much.
