Progesterone Test

in Infertility
So I am sitting at 7dpiui (2ww is beginning to make me moody!) and had my blood drawn this morning. My level was at 23.4 according to my OB, now I am just waiting to hear back from my RE on whether or not I will need supplements. I honestly don't know much about these levels and what level it takes to be put on supplements? Anyone out there have knowledge to share on progesterone levels? Does your level mean anything more than you either ovulated or your didn't? Thanks in advance for sharing!

    I just basically means you ovulated and doesn't give an indication of pregnancy. Above 7 means ovulation occurred, and usually they like 20 in my experience after iui or ivf, which would support a pregnancy if it occurred. Sounds good to me! GL!
    Me: 37, DH: 38: ttc 7 years, dx: unknown
    10/11: after 2 years, saw a RE, FSH 5.4
    11/11: BFP! (surprise after thyroid & normal hsg),
    12/11: missed m/c after 7 week u/s, 1/12: D&C

    IVF #1(10/12) FSH 5.4, AFC: 16 long Lupron, 5R/5M/4F, all 4 made it to 5dt, 1 blast/1-8 cell transferred=BFN
    IVF #2(12/12)AFC 21, MD lupron, 4R/4M/3F, 5dt of 1 blast and 2-8cell. BFN.
    IVF#3(4/13) Natural start antagon protocol, 12R,11F. one PGS normal at day 6 transfer. BFN.
    IVF#4 (11/13) C.CRM (ODW.U normal 8/13 Still no Diagnosis) EPP/antagonist. ER 13R/7M/6F. Only 1 made it to freeze. Abnormal. Looking into options of DE, Fresh vs frozen.
    10/14 new local RE to look into what's next. CD3 FSH 4.7, AMH 0.9. Met with DE agencies and exploring options for feb/march 2015.
    Surprise natural bfp (4 days before donor is signed). Beta #1 at 9dpo: 51.8, 2nd beta: 195 (25 hours doubling) @11dpo. 3rd beta (12/15): 516 (35 hrs doubling) 4th beta(12/17): 895 (58 hours doubling) 5th beta(12/19): 2120.

    My RE wants over 20 for it to be viable pg. I read online 10 to 15 and I was a 7 at the start of my pg, so my suppositories were switched to PIO shots, it jumped and stayed closer to 30 to 50 but I still miscarried. My RE doesn't have answers but it is possible the low progesterone indicated an unhealthy pg or if the low levels caused complications and the PIO shots just kept things going a little longer. But check with RE, I had an unsuccessful iui with progesterone level of 27 at day 22 or 23. So don't think there is much proving pg or not but if you are pg, the numbers matter for it to be viable. GL!!!

    Started TTC 2009 with RE after 6 months.  
    Clomid + Trigger x2;

    IUI + Follistim x2;
    IVF #1 (MDL) February 2013- BFN.
    IVF #2 (antagonist) May 2013, First BFP of my life.

    Thank you everyone!! RE said the numbers are fine, so no supplements for me...it was one of the nurses who called me and she actually said I can take a HPT at day 9piui. Hmmm, I didn't question her but it seemed early to me, but of course I will be at my stash of HPTs in 2 days just because she said I could LOL!
