Progesterone levels?

Christinaxoxo

I had blood drawn for CD 3 and CD 21 and just got the results back. My progesterone on CD21 was 4.1 and the doctor wants me to come in to discuss. Just wondering what to expect? Does anyone know what they generally do for low progesterone? What level is normal?

Do you know when you ovulated?  CD21 bloodwork is only accurate if you ovulate on CD14.  They are assuming you are 7DPO at the time.   That would be a low number if you ovulated CD14, but not necesarily low if you ovulated a little later.

If it is in fact a progesterone deficiency, then you will most likely be put on progesterone suppositories during your 2ww.

This.  If you don't always O on CD 14, your results won't be accruate.  You should ask your dr how many DPO they want instead.

I went in CD 3 and 7DPO and mine was 7 and I have been put on Clomid, on round 2 of it now. GL

 I no longer temp because I always ended up with open circles on FF. I work night shift and don't get 3 solid hours of sleep at a time or at the same time every day. I know opk's aren't 100% but I had a positive opk on CD 15. I also had EWCM CD 14-16.
