CD 21 bloodwork

domsgirl1

I had my CD 21 bloodwork yesterday and my progesterone level was 8.8.  The nurse said they like to see  levels around 10 after ovulation

Feeling kind of down by my low number but @ least I am going in the right direction.  Just needed to share my news!!

If that's the only thing they find wrong , then maybe you can start taking progesterone right after you O to raise it:-) it might be an easy fix..good luck and fix crossed for you in 2014!!

According to FF I ovulated on CD 15 which would have put me at 6dpo on my CD 21 progesterone level. I had + opk's CD4-6.  I am not sure of my exact ovulation because I am only using OPK's and not temping.  I have taken the last couple months off for temping but I guess I need to dust the basal thermometer off.  If no BFP I plan to start temping next month.

Are you sure you ovulated on CD14? That's the only way CD21 info is useful. If you ovulated later, like say CD 20 then that would be a great number! Are you charting BBT or using OPKs?

@ Samuelismomma. 
Thanks.  I have been on progesterone supplements(oral) for my last 2 pregnancies.  But I started after I got a +HPT which I believe was too late.  I just stated seeing the RE after my last miscarriage.  Hopefully that is the problem and I start after I ovulate.
