So I have my result and scheduled for an appt next week. Always regular 30/31 day cycle. This month went for bloods on day 26, 7 days after my positive opk. Any thoughts? It was my second month of using soy iso? Did that cause an anovulatory cycle?
 
There are definitely women who do get pregnant with progesterone levels close to 5 roughly a week after ovulation, but most of those women will be put on progesterone supplements, and if you routinely have "weak" ovulations, a doctor might consider Clomid or Femara to raise your progesterone levels. I'm not sure where CD26/27 falls for you in terms of days past ovulation (assuming no luteal phase defect, I know it should be ~day 16, but there's no way to know that for sure without some form of self or doctor's monitoring). Are you temping or anything? You definitely *could* have ovulated, but 5.12 would still be considered low progesterone at 10dpo. From doing a lot of searching online and what my OB/GYN says, on an unmedicated cycle (no Femara/Clomid/injectibles), over 3.5 on 7dpo means you "possibly" ovulated, and anything over 5 means you ovulated, but many doctors will say to indicate "strong" ovulation that would better sustain a pregnancy they want to see a 10+ on an unmedicated cycle and a 15+ on a medicated cycle. I've heard that soy iso -sometimes- can cause anovulatory cycles, especially if taken every day or in high doses, but without trying a cycle without it and comparing progesterone levels, there isn't a way to say for sure what it did this time around.

Sorry I couldn't be more definite; I hope some of that helps, at least!
 
My doctor considers anything over 3 to be ovulatory. Of course your number is on the low side which could indicate an immature egg/weak ovulation which causes poor corpus luteum development which causes low progesterone. My 7 DPO progesterone is usually around 7. Hard to say if this is the cause but I have trouble conceiving. I wouldn't worry too much with only one test result. It could be an off month. Also progesterone is secreted in pulses and it's possible you got your blood drawn at a low point. Good luck!
 
I dont temp so I basically are going with my positive opks. I also have gotten multiple positives throughout a 2 week period previously, but last month just one. Maybe repeating the test before freaking out would be better. I will also try temping this month. thanks ladies.
 
So I had done some additional tests and results came back as follows..

6DPO-6.6
7DPO-7
8DPO-10.1
13 DPO-12.1
The O is according to OPK only not temping, any thoughts?
