Trouble TTC

progesterone results....any idea if this seems low?

edited June 2016 in Trouble TTC
i just got a message from my RE's office that my progesterone came back at 11.8- which i know 10 means you ovulated.. but since i was on Clomid and Ovidrel i thought my progesterone would be higher? i'm going to call the RE's office to ask when i get a chance but anyone have experience on what your progesterone numbers are after using Clomid & Ovidrel?

I should add un-medicated my progesterone came back as 9.3 in April.. so it definitely increased.. I just don't know if it increased enough to be considered a successful cycle

Re: progesterone results....any idea if this seems low?

  • I've had slightly below 10 (maybe 9?) one cycle, I've also had high teens.  (All a week post IUI w/Clomid + Ovidrel.)  So if anecdata is reassuring at all, it's varied for me and my RE has not been concerned.

  • It definitely indicates ovulation.  The question is does your RE want higher progesterone levels for you.  Good news is that increasing progesterone is easy with supplementation.

  • lurking from infertility and ttcal. My last test was 5. Don't forget the test could be before, or after your surge. How did your RE feel about your numbers?
  • @harleyquinn0621 my OB says over 10 unmedicated and 15 medicated to indicate ovulation

    Hey ladies, thank you all for your replies! 

    This is was done 7 dpiui and 8 days post trigger 

    the REs office said it was fine and that it shows i ovulated but they also said that about the 9.3 and Ive read over and over again most REs want over 10 

    after my beta next week (if it's negative) I may decide to get a second opinion from the other RE covered by my insurance :neutral:
