Does anyone have PCOS

I've had one prior chemical pregnancy at 4 weeks.
I just got my BFP this week after an ivf cycle. I've been on progesterone following that but yesterday was my last day on progesterone.
Does anyone have any insight into pcos and progesterone?
I'm going to ask my GP to test my levels but my appointment isn't until next week.
I guess I'm concerned that now I've stopped the progesterone I'm going to lose this pregnancy. I've read those with pcos tend to suffer from low progesterone and are more at risk of miscarriage.
The only experience I have of getting my progesterone tested when to confirm ovulation twice months ago. I was barely above the threshold and second time I was under even tho scan confirmed I ovulated.
Is this really the case that progesterone dosent rise sufficiently with pcos?

Congrats OP! I’ve been in a similar position - I have PCOS and had a chemical pregnancy at the start of the year with ovulation induction treatment and now I’m in my third trimester having got pregnant again a couple of months later. On the progesterone front I measured my PDG daily after ovulation with a Mira kit and saw it rising which was reassuring (the machine and wands are pricey, but I’d found it really helpful to have some data points for tracking ovulation when ttc and confirming ovulation afterwards). I’m sure everyone with PCOS is a bit different but just wanted to give reassurance that it’s possible 😊 Crossing fingers for you!

Congratulations! I have PCOS. I asked my GP to check my progesterone levels when I got pregnant but they wouldn't so I paid to get it done at Superdrug. All came back normal and now in my second trimester.
