Progesterone dose and levels concern

My doctor tested my progesterone (P) levels 1 day after 5 day transfer and said it was 103 (Canadian units) but that it should be 50-100. He dropped my dose from 50 mg PIO to 12.5 mg without rechecking it again until beta 2 weeks later (also on 200mg P vaginally 3x/d). Iโ€™m concerned it will now drop too low and wonโ€™t be checked again until itโ€™s too late to rescue. Iโ€™m testing on home tests now and itโ€™s showing positive but very faint and not getting darker. Iโ€™m currently 7 days post transfer. My question is: 1) would you have dropped my PIO dose that much when my level was only slightly above range? I thought thereโ€™s no such thing as too high P after transfer 2) is it common to even test P levels right after transfer and adjust? Iโ€™ve always just done standard 50 mg PIO daily with my successful transfers without adjustments. 3) do you think i should push to check my P levels before my beta test? Worried this will cause me to have a chemical pregnancy. TIA!
