I'm trying to gain weight, and have a lot of trouble when I'm stressed out keeping my appetite up. So far the doctor has offered to prescribe a synthetic progesterone that they use for chemo patients and AIDS patients. I'd like to stay away from the chemicals if possible!

You have answered your question yourself. You said you are stressed out, if so, how can you improve your body metabolism?
Remain calm, do some yoga or meditation, relax your body and mind and then see what happens. You wont need any medication at all.
As far as possible, do not take hormonal supplements unless you have a hormonal deficiency. Progesterone supplements are given if you have a deficiency of hormones.
What is your age? And what is your height and weight?
Drink lots of water, eat plenty of fiber rich foods. Bananas are supposed to increase weight.
Lastly, I am surprised to hear from anyone about increasing weight, when most of my patients are keen to reduce. Weight increase can be fast, but reducing it is a herculean task so think twice before you decide to increase your weight.
Please keep me informed about your progress and send me all the details possible for me to analyze your condition.

Swedish bitters. Increases the saliva flow which seems ot stimulate appetite. My dad and sister's FIL used it during chemo to help their appetites.

Just smoke some weed. It'll improve your attitude and remove your stress and will naturally enhance your appetite.

Marijuana has proven effective in places where it has been legally tested. Another reason to campaign for its being made legal. Move to California if necessary.
