What could my CD21 progesterone levels mean? Did I ovulate? *BFP and loss mentioned*

So I begged my doctor to schedule me for a day 7 progesterone blood test, to make sure that I ovulated (6th IUI only one BFP and ended in a MC) I got my results and they said its greater than 40, which is what they like to see, and not much else. I'm honestly kinda bummed out they didn't give me my exact number, and whether or not that number meant I ovulated. I had a 20.2mm 15.3mm and a 14.5mm follicle the morning of the day I triggered (7pm trigger and IUI 37 hours later) And I got the test to see if I could have possibly ovulated more than one follicle. Anyone here know anything about progesterone levels?

Hi! So first I want to clarify, I think you are talking about a day 21 progesterone level? That is drawn 7 days post ovulation. Cause you wouldn't have ovulated day 7 of your cycle. I am betting your lab has a reference range that only goes to 40, so when they say yours was >40, that's because that is as high as your lab's range goes. That means you very very likely ovulated! Good luck, FX for you!

Progesterone levels vary so much per individual and cycle, I doubt they'd be able to tell whether you ovulated with one or more follies. The good news is you seem to have ovulated, and your levels are looking good! Good luck!
