TTC After a Loss

Progesterone Level

Just wondering what you were told a normal 7DPO progesterone level was. Last month mine was 11.0, I have read varying reports saying it should be above 10, above 12 or above 15 on a medicated cycle ( does that mean Clomid?) My OB office told me that normal was 11.0 and above, so it makes me wonder if I flirt with that "too low" line much. I'd appreciate any insight! TIA!

  • 5+ for O, 10+ ideal unmedicated, 15+ medicated.

  • I posted this same question earlier today..from what someone answered  >10 if unmedicated and >15 if medicated, and I would assume that includes Clomid.  Another thing I read after googling it, was that the blood test should be a fasting test.  If you eat prior to the test it can reduce your level by as much as 50%!  So, make sure you schedule your next one first thing in the morning.  I go on Friday now...so I'll post my results when I get them (probably not until the next Monday).

  • I wonder if fasting allows you to drink lots of water? Probably not. I have REALLY bad veins to begin with and throw in a little dehydration and it's not good. When I had my D&C I was stuck 12 TIMES for an IV, because I was NPO and sooooo dehydrated. Normally when I get blood work I have to drink like a gallon beforehand.
