Very low progesterone and PCOS and pregnant

[catrinasweetie]

Okay,  I really need some help here.  I am 26 years old with 2 beautiful little girls that I had no problem conceiving. My husband and I started trying for another child a year and a half ago. We found out in February that I have PCOS and I was started on Metformin.  Well, I just found out last Sunday, July 12th, that I am pregnant.  I called my doctor right away and he had me come in for blood tests.  The results showed that my hcg was doubling like it should be, up to 3000+ at 5 weeks, but my progesterone level is a 5.  He told me he wants it to be at least 11.  I was started on Prometrium as a progesterone supplement.  My doctor sounds optimistic, but to me, 5 seems really low after everything that I have read.  I need a realistic answer, so I can be prepared if something happens.  Has anyone carried a baby with such a low progesterone level to start out with?
