in TTC after 35
My Dr called and said my progesterone was low 6.2 on day 21. But then when he found out my cycles are usually 24 or 25 days long, he told me to go again on day 18 or 19 for another test!! Now it will be another month wasted for probably the same result ! Sad

    I have shorter cycles, but do not have a short luteal phase. ?My cycles are 26 days. ?I ovulate sometime around day 12, I have been using the CBEFM, to help me track it.

    Have you tried temping. ?It is stressful but it does help you get to know your body really well. ?Before I had my son I temped for a while, so I knew I had anywhere from a 14-16 day luteal phase, depending on when AF decided to show up. ?My cycles were 26-28 days long. Maybe you should try it this cycle to help go along with your Dr.'s findings. ?You can sign up for a free account on fertility friend.

    Good luck & I hope you get your BFP soon.

    Thanks but I have tried temping and they tend to be alittle erratic as a lot of time I do not get a block of 3 hours of sleep before I wake up for the day. I do have the CBEFM and have been using that which according to that, I am ovulating but now I am wondering if maybe I am not since my progesterone is so low. I guess I will just have to wait and see what the next test says.

    I have a feeling in your case the test was done too close to AF and that's why the prog was lower. Still, 6.2 means you did ovulate (anything over 5) and that's good news. I think retesting at the appropriate time will help. I only had a 7.9 at 7dpo (which for me is much later than CD21) and I still got pg (knock on wood). It's still possible, but the doctor can prescribe prog. supplements if that's what you need. Those will help. GL!

    Thanks, that makes me feel alittle better. Maybe I will go ahead and test again then and see what happens before I go to a RE.
