I'm of the opinion now after as much medical research and opinion that I can get that... progesterone doesn't really matter like they used to think. Women can swear up and down that supplementation saved their pregnancies, but the evidence doesn't actually support that! So I honestly think it's a bit of a placebo at this point...
But I'm totally on it. Even though my prog was nearly as high as yours on first draw. I just wanted to "kitchen sink" it because I was so anxious. And they said, "Sure, whatever, wean at 12 weeks."
I think if it helps you feel better, go on it! Or even wait until your Friday scan to make a decision!
And I've seen people carry pregnancies with progesterone that dipped below 10 fyi. I will be interested to see what science is saying about its purpose in the next few decades!
