Hello All,

My results from my prog. was 10.5. As I understand that is not a bad result. My RE says if its over 10.0 then I ovulated. I have a couple of questions that maybe you guys could answer for me.

1) If I was pg. wouldn't my prog. be higher. I had it taken on CD24. My cycles are 31days.

2) No sign of AF

3) I'm in my 2ww expecting AF on the 29th which is my CD31. Should I be getting my hopes up. This month is my first month on 150 mg. and Estergen cream.

Help Ladies. I'm going crazy.

Love to all

Amy

I was told by my RE anything over 10 is normal and means ovulation occurred. Normally Progesterone serums are drawn about 7 days after ovulation occured.

Regarding getting your hopes up, I know what you mean. I learned my lesson the very first month I was on Clomid. I didn't know very much about infertility, Clomid, etc... and I was really putting a lot on the line by trusting my gyno. (who doens't know squat when it came to infertility) When she first drew my Progesterone level, it was 24! She told me anythiing over 20 was a strong indication of a pregnancy! I was estatic!!!!!! I went out and bought a cute card for my husband and a ton of baby stuff to wrap up to give him when I told him he was going to be a daddy....

Well that stuff I bought, still sits in a white box in my dresser drawer, 9 months later. I wasn't pregnant, that Prog. level of 23 meant nothing but I ovulated and was producing a very good level of progesterone.

So my moral of the story for me from now on is, before I get excited like that ever again, I better be holding about 10 positive pregnancy tests in my hand!
(ha ha)

But, the level you had is good~ and the fact you ovulated is great!!!!!!!! So hang in there, I know how much the 2ww stinks. But it will be over, I am in the tail end of mine now, as I wait for AF to arrive.

Love Donna

Hi Amy,

I'm with you, understanding progesterone tests are confusing. I want you to know that I had a prog test and it was 9.6. I was happy b/c the month before it was .03 or something. AF was a couple of days late and I called my doctor, he told me to take a pregnancy test and it was positive. So I guess that you can get pregnant with a low progesterone test. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Love,
Nancy
