Low progesterone but temp rise

[LaRockera]

Based on your chart Id say you need to have your progesterone tested today or tomorrow. So next week will be no use as it will be too late. 18nmol is borderline. If there definitely wasn't ov the reading would be in the low single figures.

My temp dropped (although not below the coverline) yesterday but it's up again today. This is usual for me if you see the patterns of my charts. Now it's quite high again, and I'd expect it to stay like this for at least a couple of days before it starts to very gradually drop. But I'm going for the test tomorrow anyway. Day 21, or else, 7 days before my next period. That's what both the English GP and the Greek gyno said to me, and I did ask about the 7dpo theory.

(this has become my favourite smily for some reason...)

Good luck with the tests. However just like to say that's a nice temp dip at 6dpo, hopefully you won't need any further testing done after this cycle.

Hey guys.

So I got my repeat results today. Progesterone's good, 64nmol, about 20ng. I guess it was just one-off.

On one hand, I'm very happy. On the other, this would have explained why I'm not conceiving, even though I realise it will only be a year next month. I will be going for a lap and dye now, hoping for the best really.

Thank you everyone for being so supportive. You're all wonderful. May you're all granted what you so long for very very soon!

No, I'm expecting it in a couple of days. Judging from my face that's full of giant red spots, I presume she'll be here on time.

But thanks for asking, babe.

That's great news! Congrats

In your first post you asked about when you can shift over to this section (LTTTC). I'm almost at 14 months TTC (actively. Got of BC in 2009). I've felt pretty welcomed over here. People are very friendly and have some great answers to due to personal experiences

Also has your significant other gone in for an semen analysis? That was one of the first tests my doctor prescribed before even wanting to run the basic tests on me!

Hey, thank you for this.

Yes, husband has had two SAs already. Both came back normal.

I'll probably be going for my lap and dye during April. I'm trying to keep a PMA and hope for the best.

Hope things work out. Glad for you that the results have been good so far!

Thanks, hon. Hope you get your BFP as soon as possible too.

Great results!!! My RE told me the same thing when I was stressing over my low P, that it can change and 1 reading is not enough to diagnosis. she does have me on progesterone suppositories for the 2ww just in-case. might be worth asking about...
Good luck on the lap and dye and lots of baby dust.

Hello,

The theme you wrote here is quite familiar for me too. I will try to explain.I think i notice it is already more than year i have temperature 37.3C each month about 12 days after ovulation. I check my progesterone several days ago and it is quite low (approximately 4ng). Doctor said that i am not ovulating (but as you I feel pain and feel that it occurs). Secondly i get some weight during the last 1.5 year (approximately 15kg) and cannot concentrate on work. During my post-ov period i feel really tired all the day, want to sleep all time and of course have temperature mostly after 12am. Today I also check my protactinium analyze and i will have it in 2-3 days.
Also i want to notice that i also have some strees (work and other small problems), but i guess this is mainly because of depression which is also some kind connected with my general situation. However i don't drink, don't smoke and already more than month visiting fitness club.

Can you please let me know what this can be?
Thanks
Suzan

Hey Suzan, you found and dag out my thread.

In my case, it turned out to be an anovulatory/bad quality egg cycle. It happens to every woman, not all cycles are the same. I repeated the test twice more and it came back fine. You need to have three consecutive progesterone checks to produce accurate deductions.

To be honest, hon, I'm not sure I can help. But it does sound that you may be low on the progesterone side- I know low progesterone can cause moodiness and melancholy. I'd suggest you asked for three consecutive progesterone check-ups, and also check your estrogen levels. I'm sorry I can't help more.

Hi Suzan,
You may want to get your thyroid checked. A lot of what you described can be related to hypothyroidism. It can impact fertility too but I believe it's very easily treated.


Congrats on your LO LaRockera!! You give me hope. Pretty sure I have a prog issue. Going to the FS next week for the first time to get all the tests so we'll see.

Thank you, hon! Even though my two repeat progesterone tests came back normal, my obgyn still put me on oral progesterone for the first trimester, plus, he would prescribe progesterone injections (one or two-offs) every time I had spotting etc.

Good luck to you, and to Suzy. It will happen, I promise.
