If you're in the US, they measure progesterone on a scale that only goes up to 40 or 45(can't remember exactly), so your progesterone sounds great and will probably go up a little bit too. With your progesterone being that high I wouldn't worry about your hcg level, which sounds fine for that early anyways, and like someone else said as long as it approximately doubles in a couple days it's perfect. Congratulations!

I know it's hard, but try not to stress until you get the number from the second draw. You can't tell much from one number - the important thing is that your numbers are increasing and doubling like they should be this early on. Good luck!

Are you 100% sure of your ovulation date? They usually date pregnancy from the last period, and if you ovulate a bit later than CD 15 this will affect the actual fetal age and make your HCG levels "lower" than they "should" be. Either way, it is definitely more important that the numbers double in an appropriate time, so don't stress too much and enjoy being pregnant! :)

One number usually can't tell you that much. As you said, you are within the range of normal. There is a range for a reason because some people will be at either end of it. I know it would be much more comfortable to be in the middle though!!
The second draw will tell you more. I don't know my exact numbers but I had to go for a 2nd draw with my 2nd pregnancy. Everything ended up being fine and I have a lovely daughter. Good luck!
