Ok here is my question I had progesterone levels done Monday 8/31 CD22 5 DPO (bbt chart O'ed on July 26 day 17). The nurse called today she acted alittle concern about my numbers and had to talk to the doctor she did say I Ovulated

(first time in a year)! My numbers was 14.2 I have been reading on the net and found some post that says that your progesterone levels could indicate pregnacy is this true? If so what does mine say. I have found some that says yeah and mine are higher than some pregnant women being it was taking 5 DPO and some say it is just a normal level. I am so

any help I would be so THANKFULL! I just think I have my hopes up seeing my temps climbing higher every morning and maybe I am just wishfull thinking.

Hi there.

I'm definitely no expert, but here's what I've been told. A post-O day prog. level can prove whether or not you did in fact ovulate. And I do believe your numbers are good. It also can give you an idea of what kind of uterine environment you have in case of a pendng pg. It can tell whether the lining is suffucient for implantation. So I would say this looks good. Why is the nurse concerned? 14 is fine, and even when I was 4 wks pg mine was 15 and I was told that was normal. I don't know whether these numbers suggest a pregnancy yet, as I think prog. is supposed to stay high at least until 1-2 days before AF. But then again, I'm no expert. Here's hoping this is your month, you can take relief in knowing your body is preparing for your bean!

Thanks for the reply I have no clue of why the nurse acted like she did. I paced the floor for 45 mins till she called me back and told me that I did O I swear you would of thought I was waiting on the results to see if I was PG I was so nervous.But if I am not pg I am happy I did O and you have to do first things first and me O'ing it the start. I found a site that said that my 5dpo levels should not be that high but I don't know only time will tell! I am now on CD 25 dpo 8.
