Just one more quick question.
Dr. Google told me that progesterone levels under 20 indicate an issue with the pregnancy. Is this true? Also, I have been on estrace since day 4 of my cycle, since it was a FET.Is there a chance that maybe I didn’t ovulate and that caused the low reading?

A level under 20 is not necessarily a problem. With the Estrace you probably did not ovulate but that's not a problem because eventually (by 8-9 weeks) the pregnancy will produce enough estrogen and progesterone to keep itself going.
