Hi, I am recently pregnant again after a miscarriage in May. I am being overly cautious with this pregnancy, so I requested a blood test for my beta HCG and progesterone levels. The first test showed beta HCG 89 and progesterone 3.6. The second test revealed my beta HCG was 195, so it more than doubled, which is good, but my progesterone is still pending. I am concerned because I truly believe low progesterone caused my previous miscarriage. The doctor did not seem too concerned. Should I be worried?

HCG rising well is a good sign. Low progesterone can impact pregnancy. Discuss progesterone support with your doctor based on pending result and do your regular antenatal usg

What precautions should I take? I already had 2 miscarriages in the past due to an incompetent cervix. Please help.
