Seeing the heartbeat on ultrasound is reassuring and a very good sign. I don't think that the slight drop in progesterone means anything because blood levels fluctuate all the time. I think it does indicate the need for extra progesterone. I think that a drop in Hcg levels would be a bad sign.
Now, if you are taking supplemental progesterone, it won't matter what your blood levels are. Supplemental progesterone will not show up in the blood. Ask your doctor if taking the progesterone twice a day would be an option for you. I remember I took Crinone with one of my pregnancies and it was twice a day until 12 weeks, then once a day until 14 weeks.
The doctors have said not to dwell on it because the truth is that nobody can know if you will lose the pregnancy. It really is impossible to tell. Your Hcg level is really good. You see a heartbeat. You are taking progesterone. You know you are doing all you can, so now you need to relax - hard as that may be. That is the best thing for you and the baby. Enjoy this moment with your baby - no matter what else may happen. Because there is no way to prevent a miscarriage if it will happen. If a pregnancy is meant to end, it will do so in spite of the progesteone supplement or anything else you try to do. I am speaking from experience and I know how difficult this is for you but you've got to try and you need to have hope.
