Just interested!!

I got my results back and my progestorone level is 60.1. I know that means I ovulated but would quite like to compare with others as I have PCOS too. Thanks

Hi @ali2021 so it turns out I was pregnant at the time I posted this! I'm now 31 weeks nearly with our rainbow baby and it's flown by! Hope you get the results you want Smile 🌈

@raindrop25 and @kerrylou84, I know this an old thread, but can I ask how you both fared after the high progesterone reading? I've gotten my result and I'm curious!

Raindrop25 · 10/08/2021 23:45

Can someone please help?

I have been taking clomid since March with no luck, I get my progesterone level checked on day 21 of my cycle each month to see if I ovulated. The past 2 months it has been a level of 45, however this month is 85! It's the highest it's ever been.

Is this a good result? Could it possibly be a sign of pregnancy? Any information would help please!!

Thanks

My day 21 was 10, funny though, because that's the month I conceived!

Baby is now 6 months old.

RikEz · 29/01/2016 08:05

I just got my results back after being on a double dose of clomid. It began at 2 - as I have polycystic ovaries. The first dose of clomid I had day 21 blood test and it came back and was still at 2. Today I was told it went up after double dose to 21. But my obstetrician still said next month we will need to triple it. I am excited that it came up this month!! But this is my last month to try before having a 3 month break

space0bongo · 04/11/2015 14:13

I have irregular periods. First day 21 test was a 3 but then I started my period later that day and so unsurprised. Second was 20 but it seems it wasn't 7 days before my period actually started. As I'm 35 the GP has told me if my second test is at a similar level he'll put me on Clomid provided further scans are clear, because apparently although you can ovulate with a level below 30 you can't always sustain a pregnancy.

Aufwiedersehenpetrarch · 02/08/2015 06:57

Bit of a ghost thread but can't hurt adding to numbers for future refs. Mine was 6 :( which explaines my shitshort 6day luteal phases. Utrogestan progesterone pessaries fixed me first month!

Rainy34 · 02/08/2015 00:03

My score was 27 on day 21 I have my fertility appointment in August , hoping I get progesterone prescribed

Giraffemama1 · 01/08/2015 19:30

Hi
I got my 21 day results and mine were 21. My doctor anything below 8 meant no ovulation and above 30 is a definite ovulation. My concern is with a score of 21 will I be able to sustain a pregnancy??!!

jennic35 · 05/08/2014 09:49

Ive had to tests gor progesterone at 17 and then 10 m/l got to do another retest niw and im feeling very low does clomid work as thats what they have said they willrefer me for

eurozammo · 28/07/2013 19:38

kerry that confirms ovulation and most likely means there is more than one egg.

Ellabella7878 · 28/07/2013 19:26

I've been ttc for just over 12 months now. My DH went to see the GP about a couple of months ago to get his sperm tested to get the ball rolling. He was told that they prefer to test the woman first. I have been temping for a few months and have cycles ranging from 22-26 days. Temping seemed to confirm that I ovulated pretty much 14 days before the start of the next period which is a normal LH phase. However when I went to see the GP she seemed to kind of dismiss this and wanted me to take the '21day' blood test. She said that was based on women on a 28 day cycle, as the test is done 7days before the start of your next period. As mine were an average of 24 days, she wanted me to come in day 17 of cycle. Just had it 3 days ago, so waiting for the results now. I will however post the results up!

kerrylou84 · 24/07/2013 12:28

Hi.I have just getten results back from day 21 progesterone. Previous results have shown a very low 2.1 or 3, but my realyts I received today after taking chlomid show 133!!! Wow! What does this mean??

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 25/01/2013 06:36

Zombie thread! Grin

High levels of progesterone do not necessarily equal pregnancy. I've had several "day 21" tests come back at 70+ but am yet to get pregnant.

The thing is, unless you know exactly when you ovulated, you might have caught the upswing, the peak or the downswing of your progesterone level.

It really is best to assume nothing and take a pregnancy test 2 weeks after your bloodtest.

dondon33 · 24/01/2013 19:49

Something I've just found regarding progesterone levels from Poland. There certainly seems a huge difference between what they can be.
I won't link it as you'll not understand, I've translated it....

Progesterone levels - standard

1-28 ng / ml - after ovulation
9-47 ng / ml - up to 12 week of pregnancy
17-146 ng / ml - 12-28. week of pregnancy
55-200 ng / ml - above the 28th week of pregnancy

dondon33 · 24/01/2013 17:50

I'm no expert Zebs but i think above 70 can mean multiple ovulation or Luteal phase problem
Look here
Testresults

I'm getting mine tomorrow on day 19 (cycle is between 25-27 days) so I'm hoping it picks up good levels - I'm not in the UK so I've really no idea what's recommended. On the huge list to test me for is the FSH and LH test which I don't imagine they'll test me for tomorrow (too early) but who knowsConfused

RedRobin1 · 24/01/2013 14:39

I think it means you have ovulated.

I just got mine back today and they were 38.6 - so hopefully I have ovulated too as it needs to be over 30 (according to dr. google) to confirm OV.

My test was on day 22 and I was only 5dpo as I OV later in my cycle.

Zebs · 24/01/2013 13:13

Anyone know what an 80.7 progesterone reading means?

joannb · 04/10/2011 13:42

I just wondered if anyone could tell me if quite high levels of progesterone on day 21 could actually be harmful or cause pain at all? I had mine checked by a gynaecologist who I went to for investigation of severe pain and pcos and he just told me that as my level was either 81 or 83 (I can't remember exactly which) and they only require a level of 30 with treatment, that ovulation had taken place. I do however, suffer from extreme pain and very big low mood swings, severe insomnia at certain times too. I wonder if anyone would have any information on this? Many thanks

hope this link helps you out. just got my results in today 25.9

angelsfromheaven · 15/04/2011 21:16

sorry to hear that cloclo but at least u being referred to gynae. Good luck hun

Cloclo15 · 15/04/2011 20:01

I got results for mine today - 13.6 :( it was taken at 4dpo but I started spotting today at 11 dpo so not sure if they were taken at the right time or not. Feeling very confused - does this mean I haven't ovulated? I'm being sent to a gynae now :(

angelsfromheaven · 15/04/2011 19:46

hey joycep. I know it is very confusing. I find it hard to follow myself. My understanding is that we usually ovulate 14 days before AF so bloods should be taken 7 days before your period is due. This is very difficult to predict if ur periods are irregular. If u are on treatment its prob best to follow the advice of ur doctor/consultant. Some people get follicle tracking scans between day 10 and 12 to see if there are any potential follicles that may rupture and by the size they can pedict a possible time u might ovulate. Good luck.

Joycep · 15/04/2011 13:20

I'm so confused by whether it's suppose to be done 7dpo or 7 days prior to AF. I had mine does this week and after checking on here, I ignored my GP who said it had to be 7 days before next period, even though that is 3DPO for me..and I wentt 7dpo. Now he above is saying 7 days prior to next bleed. Confused
