Elevated levels of progesterone is what causes your period to stop, but hcg plays a role in that too, as it is the presence of hcg (from implanted embryo) that tells the corpus luteum to keep pumping out the progesterone after the normal luteal phase length.

If there is no hcg detected the corpus luteum tapers down progesterone production after about 14 days and the endiometrial lining starts to break down when the progesterone no longer is present to support it.

You have 8.5 progesterone level at 5 weeks pregnancy you have been put on Progesterone supplement Can you carry a full term pregnancy with a progesterone supplement?

It's very promising. You should be given progesterone supplements in the form of vaginal suppositories, which is suppose to be the most effective method. (Other options include oral pills or by injection.) Make sure your HCG and progesterone blood levels are monitored every two days to be certain a healthy doubling of HCG is occurring, and also to adjust the progesterone dose accordingly.
