Hello -
I have just gotten my results from a CD21 progesterone levels check. It was 15 :(
I got the results by phone and will be seeing the doctor on Monday but I'm driving myself crazy with questions and am hoping that someone can shed some light in the meantime.
I know that a level of 30+ is indicative of ovulation, so 15 isn't great. But I am using Clearblue OPKs and got my smiley on day 17, which I take to mean I ovulated around day 18.
If my understanding is correct, this means my bloods were taken at 3 DPO rather than 7 DPO.
Could this be why my levels are low? Could I be tested 7 or 8 days after my smiley next month, and hopefully get a better result?
And if the result isn't better next time, what happens next?
I'm 37 and we are ttc #2 for over a year - would love some advice / support from anyone who knows what all this means.
Thanks.
