very very low progesterone level/not ovulating!....holding on to faith!

[babydeabreu]

Hi babydeabreu,

I have been TTC my 1st child for almost 2 1/2 yrs now. I had my progesterone level checked for the 1st time a yr ago and found out it was 0.6. I took cycles of Clomid afterward. I found out I was pregnant at 5 wks on 50mg of Clomid on the 2nd cycle but in less than a wk, found out I was no longer pregnant. On Clomid my levels ranged from between 8 & 11. I stopped taking Clomid this month and just found out that my current progesterone level unmedicated is 0.6 I'm thinking about seeing a fertility specialist because I know in my heart, something bigger is wrong with me that's causing the extremely and practically non-existent progesterone level to be so low. I can't find anyone other than you who has been diagnosed with a progesterone level lower than 1.

so sorry to hear about your loss..its so hard when you have been trying and trying..and when u finally get there its taken away. really sorry hun...

i had my bloods taken different times on the month just incase i was ovulating later and my progesterone was still just as low. 18months still im not getting nowhere. i would definitely get your doctor to refer to to see a specialist just incase...not just that it peace of mind im still waiting to see one. my doctors lost my paper work so 3 months im now being re-referred. we will get there one day eh x

Hi i just came across trying to find info about low progesterone...
me and DH have been TTC for 1 1/2 years and finally got my OB?GYN to draw some labs.
I have a normal physical exam no endo no PCOS. Prolactin normal Thyroid normal. But my CD21 progesterone was 0.76!!!! Waiting for AF to start to get FSH drawn on CD3 ......
I had a Postive opk on CD18/19 could the progesterone level been drawn to early ....but doc says Im not ovulating f/u appt in a few weeks

It's possible that your body tried to release the egg..but didnt..i always get positive opks and then bloods confirm no ovulation. good luck hun x

Hi ladies, hope I'm responding to the correct thread! (new to this)
Just some advice really, ttc no2 (got pregnant with my son now 5 first month) finally had a referral to gynae, always had very regular normal and predictable periods 27/28 days, never missed one in 15 years apart from when i was pregnant with my son, until now. Currently 3 days late clear blue digital yesterday said not pregnant, so I thought I would ring the hospital for my progesterone test results which I had on day 19 which was 2 and day 22 which was 10. Does this mean I have not ovulated???? And if so why would this suddenly happen now when it's never happened before. I am so confused any advice or kind thoughts would be appreciated.

Many thanks ladiesxx

I'm in the same boat..currently trying with my second! as we get older our body change's along with hormones. even though the first time wasnt long, anything can happen afterwards. i had my son with no problems..this time round i have pcos and no ovulation..its such a hard thing to understand but the best thing i would advice is get your doc to do other checks or get referred to see a gyne who can help. just remember your not allown, that we are going through the same. it does happen just will take longer. keep us updated on how u get on xx

my doctor says CD21-24 progesterone levels >5 means you ovulated

your progesterone levels need to be closer to 30 to of ovulated. 21-24 means your body is trying to but doesnt..when it reaches around 30 its a very good sign your body have released a strong egg.

I was taking clomid also up to 150mg and my progesterone level this last time was 3...so no ovulation...so the doctor said he doesn't think increasing my dowager will benefit me...and that I could move my specialists appt sooner...so I did...but it makes me feel down and depressed...I hate not being able to ovulate...I have polycycstic ovaries....hypothyroidism...hashimotos...everything is working against me haven't had anything checked out with hubby yet...but first we need to focus on me I guess...so good luck ladies! I always dreaded getting my cd21 progesterone levels taken..I just knew it would be low...and clomid messes with your head! That's for sure!

so sorry hun, such a horrible thing to go through, hopefully with some help now you will get closer to getting that healthy bfp xx

I'm freaking out now because I talked to my Dr yesterday and she won't put me on clomid because of my weight (5'6" 220lbs). My level at 7DPO was 6.9. She is thinking of sending me to a fertility clinic. I just don't feel like we're to that level yet. =(

whats a joke...lots of girls get clomid weather or not over weight....seeing a specialist might just work in your favour..they are much understanding and lot more helpful. they do more test and give much better advice. some doctors havent a clue how to speak to us or what to say. hope your ok

I have PCOS and took Clomid and mine was 0.4...yes zero POINT four. I was switched to Femara this month since Clomid literally made me crazy....I'm on CD 15 right now and finding the wait to be exhausting....good luck. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy

good luck to you hun...hope the femara works alot better then the clomid did. when i was on clomid it made me cycles even longer. atm im literally taken nothing...completely natural. my docs want help me as i have been referred to a specialist. really hope you get some much better help taking this. gd luck keep us updated

xx

Hi Everyone,
I am ttc baby #2. I am on day 27 just had first round of clomid 50mg. Had day 21 progesterone checked it was 2.9 nmol. Doctor said did not ovulate, and to up clomid to 100mg. I have longer cycles 35-45 days. He told me to wait before I triger period with meds - to test for pregnancy in two weeks. Im confused.. could I have ovulated late? He was no help with answers.. and did not give me the time or confident answer i was looking for.
Thanks
