what were your progestrone blood test results?

[bird24]

mine were 27.4 - not sure if thats good or bad...doc just said that they are normal

I just had my first progesterone blood test yesterday (CD24), so I'll be getting those results on June 18.
I have a feeling I have a progesterone deficiency and estrogen dominance. I have all the classic signs:
spotting for 2-3 days before AF
fat accumulation around hips and thighs
anxiety/insomnia
etc...

PS. I also wanted to say congratulations on quitting smoking. I don't know what I could say to encourage you and give you a boost....but it's SUPER fantastic that you've quit. You should be hugely proud of yourself.

I got my progesterone checked on D21 and it was a measly little 19. That is BAD. My Specialist says 30 is desirable so I'd say your 27.4 is right there.

I'm taking Pregnaplan multivits plus the odd tablet of magnesium to see if I can boost my progesterone levels. If anyone else knows more of how to do this, I'd appreciate all advice.

I'm on round 2 of Clomid now and Doc is hoping my progesterone levels will rise, even though I'm still on 100mg. If it doesn't work this time, then she'll bump me up to 150mg.

And hurrah for stopping smoking! I'm told it's a huge struggle but you've cleared one month. Stellar stuff.

Ok thanks, i think i may have been on DPO 9 instead of DPO 7 so that means it should have been higher shouldnt it??? i think i might ask to have it done again this cycle and see if it changes, i'm more in tune with my cycle days now as i'm temping xxx

Thanks for you reply hope this cycle of clomid works!!

27.5 is a very good number! Unless you're on fertility drugs (like Clomid) then anything over 10 is a definite positive for O, while numbers 5-10 are indicative...but they do like numbers around 30 or higher if you're on Clomid, etc...Ia lower number doesn't mean you're not Oing (even when on Clomid), it's just that a higher number is better when on fertility drugs. If you're not on them and you got that number, then you've got nothing to worry about there!

I had mine checked last summer and it was 19 and my doctor told me that it was really good and that I was Oing.

 

[bird24]

Thanks so much american momma - that made me feel so much better xx

Hi

I had mine tested twice both times i was pregnant and bleeding, m/c 4 my level was 5 and m/c 5 was 11, as you can see neither ended well, im seeing gyn in the m/c clinic in 4 weeks to check levels when not pregnant.

Super congrats on the stopping smoking, its not easy is it. I quit just over 2 and a half years ago, I feel sssoooo much better for it.

 

[bird24]

well done on quitting smoking too hun - its not easy but its gotta be worth it!!

Hope you get a sticky bean ASAP!! good luck xx

I had mine done last year and was told all was fine, but today at my appt, I was told it was 27 ( point something, can't recall) and it was on the low side and not indicative of successful ov, and that it should be around 40.
Why is there not ONE figure that it should be, instead of us all being told different things?? Makes me wonder if they know themselves tbh...

I am having it repeated this cycle.

 

[bird24]

Oh ok...thanks

Mine was 27.4 so maybe i should have mind tested again....do you temp?

I think i'll make an appointment to see the doc again and see what she says...

Thanks

 

[Loula]

yup I temp.

I've asked this q about levels on every forum I use, and have got differing answers, but most are for the higher end - around 30 is what is commonly being said.

I think I may have misheard my doctor and he must have said 30 not 40.

I'd ask for a repeat to be done - you have a 28 day cycle, so cd21 would be the day to do it. I'm on 32 so having mine repeated this wednesday which'll be c25 - it has to be done 7 days B4 next AF due - not 7dpo as commonly said.

Anyone who has gotten a lower level than 30, I'd be going back and asking for a repeat test.

Having mine done tomorrow. I've read that they are measured in two different measurements depending on what your doc/clinic etc use. I can't remember what (i will look for it again) But just imagine it was oz or ml so they would be different one could be 10 and one could be 30 but both mean the same - am i making sense???
I'll have to find it and get back to you all.

 

[bird24]

Oh tansey thats a good point....let us know chick xxx

oh is that right? so do the US use one measurement and UK use another for instance? Seeing as it's mostly US sites I have seen saying 5-10 etc?

Mine was 67.5.

Still not pregnant after a year though so they are looking at alternative problems which all concentrate on the fact that I get severe pain for up to 20 days every cycle mostly concentrated on the left side.

Hi everyone, I am on max dose of metformin and 100mg clomid, just started cycle 3. My last two cd 21 progesterone results have been <1 so what is that is 19 is bad!! I dont think it is gonna work for me but fingers crossed xx

 

[Loula]

hi Alison, that would mean you haven't ovulated last two cycles . Did they not tell you this??

 

[alison011177]

Hiya Loula, yes I know my ovaries havent even been tickled!! Gonna finish this clomid then back to consultant to see what the plan is. He was very positive though but i dont suppose it works for everyone! xx
