Will a gestational sac grow if progesterone levels are too low Miscarried at 6 weeks gest sac measured 6 weeks with no embryonic sac or fetal pole. Could low progest levels have caused the this?

Im not a doctor by any means, but this just happened to me. Six weeks along a transvaginal ultra sound showed no gestational sac or any form of develpment. At that time they said you will miscarry. ( This is my 3rd one) At the time of my ultrasounds, my HcG level was 1400- 2 days later it jumped to only 1800- 2 weeks later they sent me to the lab for more blood work and the HcG level was 3500. They did another ultra sound and found a gestational sac that was not formed 2 weeks prior. Now I will be seeing a specialist going forward, but they currently think my iussue is hormonal. My HCg levels are way too low during my last two pegnancies. I wish I know what caused this..... Good luck to you. Jersey
