Is my pregnancy okay?

My LMP was on March 23, 2007.  My cycles are usually 24-34 days long.  According to my LMP I would be 9 weeks, but I think I actually conceived on April 15, 2007.  Which would actually make me 8 weeks pregnant  I had my first obgyn appointment on May 24, 2007.  No u/s was done only blood work and a urine test.  I called today to see what the results were and they only told me my progesterone which was 9.6.  The nurse said that was low.  I asked her what the hcg level was and she said they didn't test for that.  I'm just worried that my progesterone level is too low and that a miscarriage is inevitable.  Am I correct in thinking this?  What are the normal levels of progesterone at 7-8 weeks?  I am going crazy thinking about this and my Dr. won't be in until tomorrow.  I am still having a ton of pregnancy symptoms, i.e. bb tenderness, fatigue, constipation, the only thing I haven't had is the morning sickness, which I didn't have when I was pregnant with my son over nineteen years ago.  We have been trying to conceive for the past 10 years and now that we finally have I don't want to lose this baby.  I guess I should tell you that I have PCOS and I am a Type II diabetic.  Does this pregnancy have any chance of making it?

i think you need to be on progesterone supplements for this to turn out well. at least that's what i've seen happen with most ladies with low progesterone.

My dr. is calling me in a prescription for progesterone suppositories to be picked up tomorrow.  I just hope it isn't too late.  I haven't been bleeding or anything but I am still worried.  How quickly does progesterone levels drop?  Also, I seem to be getting a yeast infection and I don't even know if I can still use the progesterone suppositories with a yeast infection.
