This would be another month of no O if thats what my results mean..the lab emailed me my results and no explanation and my dr. is out of the office (big surprise)...does anyone know what levels=ovulation or at least what it should be above or what range it should be in? thanks

Here is a good link for all sorts of blood level questions.

I've been told that any number number above 2 means ovulation but that they want it at least 10 for unmedicated cycles and 15 for medicated cycles for your lining to be "fluffy" enough for implantation to keep (ie, not to miscarry if you do get PG)... and from some posts around here it seems that a low p4 reading at 7dpo if you O on your own might mean that it's "weak"...to be honest I don't really know what that means.  Hopefully others can shed more like on this one.

But for personal experience, before I was put on progesterone suppliments mine was 8.1 (from charting I knew I O on my own), but with that he put me on the supps and why he said he's giving me the clomid for IUIs.

My doctor has told me that my progesterone needs to be at least 10.  They consider anything from 8.0-10.0 ovulation but not likely to conceive.  They consider anything from 10.0 to 15.0 "average" and 15.0 to 20.0 very likely to conceive.  However different labs can use different scales to assign values so I would check to see what scale your doctor's lab is using.  My SIL's  doctor uses a scale where 10.0 on my scale is 1.0 on her scale.  Sorry, I really don't think I helped here!    GL!!
