Very Worried Now!!!!!!! - Infertility Message Board

Hi everyone,

I got the results of my progestrone blood test done and it was low! 8.9 was what the nurse said but she also said that it means that I had a good ovulation this month... how can that be when online I read that you need a 10 or higher and that many women get high double digit numbers. I am so worried and so anxious now....

...........

Is there ANY way I can be pregnant with those numbers? (keep in mind I am on 50mg clomid and always ovulated on my own)...

Any input is appreciated!

-Dana.

Hi Dana - I wish I knew more about progesterone levels (and I've begun to question why my doc has never checked mine). I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that you are worried and I hope that it all works out for you this cycle. It does sound like your 8.9 is very close to the minimum of 10 that you say you've ready about. I hope that small 1.1 difference is not that critical. I will be thinking of you and waiting to hear what you find out. Good luck, hun.

Hi Dana,
I am sorry that you are so stressed now about the progesterone level. My RE told me that it has to be at least 10 to show that you ovulated and that they would like it to be closer to 13. I always have my level drawn and it has been anywhere from 11 to 29 from month to month. When my level would come back low (11 or 13) my RE put me on progesterone supplements-prometrium pills. I wish you all the best with your cycle and hope that you will get a BFP! Please keep us posted.

Hi Dana,

I so sorry your worried. Sometimes the more we learn about stuff the more we put on ourselves to worry about. I for one do all the time.:rolleyes. Yes it is true that a higher number can me an indication of pregnancy but.....that does not mean that if it is high that you are pregnant and that if it is low that your not. What CD is this for you??? Is beta next week for you??? Did she put you on progesterone pills??? The thing is that every person is different and ok maybe your chances of pregnancy this month feel as if they may be less but this test will not confirm pregnancy for you so there is really no definite answer yet. I know the waiting is tough. If you have concerns call RE and ask again why they feel it is normal as you heard it should be above 10 and if they have not put you on progesterone ask why about that too. Hang in there Dana, I would still keep hoping this month. Miracles happen all the time and I hope you have your own miracle this cycle!!! GOOD LUCK!! Keep us posted.
