I had a missed miscarriage in October at 13 weeks followed by a D&C and tried again to conceive after my first cycle like the doctor said. The first month I had a chemical pregnancy. I just missed my period and took many tests which were all positive. I went to the doctors on CD34 and the hcg was 495 and the progesterone was 20.8, He seemed please with the hcg, but said progesterone was low and started me on progesterone suppositories. Does this have any hope?

Of course there is hope. Your HCG level alone will not tell you much though. You need to see how often it doubles. As long as your doctor is helping augment your progesterone and your HCG levels double about every 24-48 hours your pregnancy has a good outlook. Many many woman have low progesterone, but if caught early as it sounds yours has been, go to term. Good luck!

Of course there is hope. You are taking progesterone and the HcG levels are nice so there is nothing to worry about. The hormones help keep the pregnancy strong. I know you must be terrified but enjoy each moment for what it is and try not to worry about what you can't control. Take care of yourself and let your husband pamper you.
Best wishes

Progesterone helps sustain the pregnancy, as long as it stays where it should be, things should continue barring any other issue with your health or fetus' health.
