Progesterone level question

MrsNash05 · July 2009

Hey ladies, I'm on cycle 14 of TTC with no luck so far. I'm starting my second round of 50mg of clomid on cd3. I'm a little concerned about my progesterone level last cycle. On cd21 it came back 65, does that seem a little high? Could this prevent pregnancy just like a low progesterone level could? Thanks for your advice!

Nope, it just means you ovulated.

I don't think so, but if your RE didn't think it was an issue, it probably isn't. You are seeing an RE and being monitored while on Clomid, right?

I'm still with my OBGYN. If no success after 3 cycles on clomid they will refer me. I've had all of testing (bloodwork, HSG, SA, etc) so I'm grasping at straws for an explanation.

I hate OB's that hand out clomid. If you aren't being monitored, you shouldn't be taking the clomid. Do a Google search. Clomid is the devil.

This and it's only the average couple that can take up to a year to conceive. Some take much longer.

Hmm, I'm wondering if my doctor is not monitoring b/c I'm on 50mg and not higher. Would that even make a difference? I know it can and most likely will take a long time and we are definitely no longer the average couple. But I'm also aware that I'm not anywhere near the point that some unfortunately, and I'm thankful.

Your dr is likely not monitoring you because most ob/gyn's don't think it's necessary. Sadly, most ob/gyn's are out of their league when it comes to getting people pregnant..

I would strongly recommend going the RE route now instead of 3 cycles in. For all you know it's working, or not, or your lining is getting thinned out, or you're developing cysts, or you're at risk for hyperstimulation. All of which can be screened with monitoring appointments, which you're not getting.

Check the TTTC board. Someone posted today a PSA about why monitoring is important. She went for monitoring today and had 5 mature follies. Do you want to give birth to a litter? I didn't think so.

Thanks for all of your advice! I'll check it out and give my doctor a call.

The dose of clomid doesn't matter. You want to be monitored to see how you react to it. You can only be on clomid for 6 cycles in a lifetime I wouldn't waste any more cycles not being monitored.

I know women that have had quads on Clomid. It's scary. Granted, yes your chances are slim, but you should still get monitored.

I would like to have a litter.

Then I'm going to pick out my favorite one- to keep.

Then I'm going to get a box.

Then I'm heading to the Wal-Mart parking lot and setting the box (with "babies" written on the side) in the back of my truck.

Then I'll wait for the cash to flow in.

Not that this is anything to laugh about, but this seriously made me LOL!! Thanks everyone for your advice, I really appreciate it!
