Question about progesterone levels

RNCrystalRNCrystal member
in Trouble TTC
AF arrived so I called to notify RE, they sent me in for blood work CD1 so I can start ferama for iui#4. They called and said my progesterone level was a little high at 1.3( I think) and asked if my period was normal. Which it is pretty much. They are ok to move on with scheduled plan. Anyone have any insight on what this could mean? TIA

Re: Question about progesterone levels

    Good question...
    AF arrived for me today and when I had my progesterone checked it was at a 9 which I thought to be low? However when I spoke to my nurse today she said my progesterone was fine....
    From what I read online (dangerous I know) progesterone should be above 15 on medicated cycles to even sustain a pregnancy...GL to you this cycle!!

    I'm not positive what progesterone should be once AF starts but I think lower is better? I think to signify O at 7dpo they like to see 5 for natural or 10-15 for medicated as PPs said. I think mine has been around 1 on CD3 and they haven't said it was too high. Sorry I'm not much more help! Hope you can still start this cycle!!
