I just received my results of my 21 day progesterone level on my first clomid cycle (50mg) and it was 7.3 which is lower than wanted. Anyone know how bad of a level this is? I know it's lower than wanted but didn't know if it meant I more than likely didn't ovulate?
Yep I'm actually in the process of looking into an RE because I too feel like it would be best due to this confusion this month. I feel it would probably be best
Anything greater than 3 is reliable evidence of recent ovulation. Higher numbers are a measure how well the corpus luteum is functioning....(but you shouldn't worry too much about the numbers because progesterone levels can vary broadly during the day throughout the LP and high numbers are no evidence of pregnancy, as I was disappointed to learn)...your RE will tell you what he/she looks for based on your particular protocol. Good luck that follie sounds great.
