Progesterone/bbt question

FloridaStanleyFloridaStanley member
edited August 2016 in Trouble TTC
my RE tested my progesterone at 7dpo and it was low(11, she wants to see 15+) so I started suppositories 2x a day starting last night. 

Will this affect my chart? Like, will my temp be higher than my normal post-o levels because of the increased progesterone? 

Thanks!

    I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question, perhaps someone else will.

    My progesterone was 10.9 ng/ml around 7dpo and my Dr. told me that was normal. I wonder if there are different reference ranges?

    For some reason different doctors want to see different numbers. It's weird.
    The most common Ive heard is 10+ for a natural cycle and 15+ for a medicated cycle(I did take femara cd3-7)

    I was prescribed suppositories last cycle after my IUI and I was told that it can mimic 'pregnancy' symptoms. The nurses examples were 'Like high temps, sore boobs, late period'.

    I wouldn't say my temps were really noticeably higher than usual post-o but were my boobs ever sore.

    My temps were higher on progesterone. I also had sore boobs and was much moodier than normal. My cycle was a little longer than normal too.

    Mine were higher, plus variety of symptoms from queasiness to sore boobs. Beware the symptom spotting...

    Progesterone will keep your temp elevated and can elongate your cycle if it is a BFN.

    My progesterone supps don't make my higher temps higher than they are without the supps. Also it's not changing my blood levels, i still test the same low amount. but i have another thread asking about this very thing too, im beginning to suspect this isn't the norm :(
