Anyone have low day 21 bloods and a healthy pregnancy?

After TTC for months, I had day 21 bloods which showed adequate but lower progesterone. After falling pregnant this month and having cramping, I'm wondering how this might affect me now. I mentioned to the doc when I called, but they didn't have much to say about it. Im in week 5 and I've been feeling fine with mild cramping for a few days.
Did anyone have similar results and go on to have a healthy pregnancy? And did they do anything when you fell pregnant to check on this?

When you say low? Do you have a figure? My progesterone was 25 but they said they would prefer to see 30.
However has your doctor given you progesterone (usually suppositories) to give you during the first trimester?

@BabyC21. I didnt write down the number when she told me originally and forget now but it was similar to yours. They said it was high enough to know I was ovulating but theyd like to to be higher.
They didnt said anything about suppositories when I called this week. I mentioned the lower progesterone level bloods when I called to let them know about my positive test, but was told I could cover in my appointment in 3 weeks. I expected them to be concerned about that. Are suppositories normally recommended? I'm considering calling back and asking again.

So I had fertility treatment so the suppositories are given from ovulation as standard. But I understand you can also get them from your GP. I do believe they help many women. When I had my day 21 bloods my level was 25, when I had my positive pregnancy test my level was 120 - I had been on suppositories for 2 weeks at this stage, so I don’t know if my body causes such an increase or the suppositories or combined.
I would call back and ask for either a progesterone blood test to check your levels now (they could be absolutely fine) or ask to be prescribed progesterone suppositories just to be on the safe side. Hope all goes great xx

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm going to call them and ask exactly that!
