Your doctor has rightly advice you to take progestron supliment to help your embryo to grow. You should follow your doctor rather worrying sbout progestron levels.At the end of 12 weeks pregnancy, placeta which is completly formed ,produces hormons. till that time suplimenting with hormons is desiable advise by your doctor.
