CBEFM success stories please and/or progresterone levels

[jwalk16]

Hi all~ I hope you don't mind if I stop in here and ask questions. I got tested on Monday on progresterone, prolactin and my thyroid levels. She did the blood work and said everything was normal but my progesterone is @ a low normal. Range is between 5 and 10. Mine was @ 5.7. I didn't test in the morning (it was late afternoon) and I also didn't fast. She didn't seem too concerned and told me to track my cycles for 2 more months and if no pregnancy, she will do more testing. My DH told me to get the best stuff out on the market to track so I got a fertility monitor. I am hoping that will take the stress off of trying to figure things out and allow us to be more relaxed and enjoy everything.

My DH also got tested on Monday and we are still waiting on the results.

I would like to know your success stories with the CBEFM. Also if you have had your progresterone checked, what were your levels?

I dont have experience with p levels but I do with the monitor.

I was 38 last year and lost a baby at 19 weeks. 2 months later, i really wanted to try for another so bought the monitor. December was our first cycle using it and amazingly, we conceived! However, the monitor showed my body doing things completely different to what I thought was happening. I had been temping for a while and that didnt match up with the monitor either. I got high levels that cycle when I didnt have any signs. I also got my peak one morning and had no cm at all! But later that evening I did. Then it took a few days before my temp rose.

What I'm trying to say is when you use the monitor, trust it! We eneded up doing the dance 6 nights in a row because of it and all I thought was...I cant do that again.

For us, we also trusted in the Lord and we feel He is the one who kept us going.

God bless
