Progesterone ?

sarahuk · Apr 4th, 2012, 08:18 AM

Hey ladies,

I was wondering if anyone would be able to shed some light.

I had my CD21 tests done and the results came back in. My levels were either 12.1 or 12.5...cant remember which. This was in UK numbers btw...I know in america u do it different!

Anyway...that was all she could tell me since she was a receptionist. SHe said it had come back as abnormal, but that there was no followup. But then there wouldnt be would there.

Im so confused. I dont know if this is good or bad

Can anyone thats been through it shed any light?

My cd21 progesterone was 30. She said less than 30 would be a concern.. can you call back and speak to a doctor so you will know for sure? The receptionist isn't allowed to chat much about is as she isn't qualified to

They should try again on cd28 though..

Think ill try and get a doctors appointment. I dont know which measurement those results are in so yeah...it could be way too low and could also be normal. So glad having these results helped me know whats happening! *sarcasm*

I got my CD21 progesterone, and only found the result when I went back to get my CD28 blood taken. They said that 30 showed I had ovulated nicely and so no need for the CD28 blood..

i'm surprised they didnt arrange for you to go back in on CD28..

Sometimes we have to give these doctors a kick up the bum to deal with us properly!

Good luck x

I go on Friday for my progesterone tests. So don't really know what the numbers mean yet. good luck and keep us posted

Thanks girls

A friend who went throurgh the testing here in the uk confirmed that 30 is normal for ovulation...so guess I am quite a way off.

Im very confused still and am hoping that ill get a second test this cycle. I tracked for over a year and I always had a clear thermal shift which triggered FF crosshairs for OV.

I dont have long cycles, im generally regular. Very confused by it all! I do have an underactive thyroid but it is medicated. At a loss to understand my body atm lol

I know how you feel I've been back and forward to the hospital my bloods are now showing normal so just waiting on results of ultrasound for ovarian cysts.. they reassured me though that if I wasn't ovulating then they would be able to help with that so.I'm sure they will help you too
Good luck x
