Progestrone Levels LOW???

I am currently 6 weeks and 1 day pregnant.  My HCG levels look good however my Progestrone level was a 8.7 and then dropped into the 7's.  My Doctor put me on Cronine 8% at 5 weeks 5 days.  I also had an ultrasound that showed the yolk sack but no fetal pole/ heartbeat yet when i was 5 weeks 5 days.  I go back for an ultrasound at 8 weeks.  I am concerned about my low progestrone levels and worry that my pregnancy will not make it.  Any advise or comments?  I have 1 previous pregnancy and my son is now 4 1/2.  Only issue during that pregnancy was blood pressure.  I do not remember hearing ANYTHING about hormone levels etc.

- As soon as I found out I was pregnant this time I made an appt with my doctor, and I had a progesterone level of 7.1 at 4w3d pregnant and I was put on a progesterone , but did not get it until I was almost 6 weeks. I was a nervous wreck, because I had a miscarriage earlier last year and worried the entire time until I had my 8 week scan. (which was probably not good for the baby or myself). 8 week scan was excellent. I worried for nothing, but no matter what advice or ease of fears someone told me nothing would ease my mind personally. If you got the progesterone replacement from my personal experience you should do just fine :)

I'm sorry, I don't know what Cronine is or what its for.  If it is for Progesterone, that's good.  If not, they can give you Progesterone supplements to help you.  I would def get them if that is not what Cronine is.  Good luck!
