Hi Michelle, I'm no doctor but i keep up on all that i can on these forums and your chances sound good to me . The low progesterone shouldn't make any difference in the embryo because lots of women carry successful pregnancies to term with low progesterone . The supplements will help anyhow . It does seems as though your hcg is rising which is a good sign . I don't even see how the doctor could say it was a bad pregnancy seeing as how ovulation wasn't too long ago . I wish you all the best and please let me know how things turn out . Hope this helps ! :)
