moosparkle1 · 02/07/2011 21:06

I'm completely new to this forum lark, so apologies if I'm not in the right place. Can anyone help or advise me?? have had day 21 progesterone monitoring since jan, and it's been getting lower, last was 14! Recently started cycle tracking which showed a follicle ready to burst also had an HSG last week which showed tubes fine. I'm going back for rpt prog on Mon and just wondered what the lowest it can be to fall pregnant!! I have been told secondary infertility ( 6 year old gorge girl) but we're desperate to give her a sibling! am beside myself. All other bloods are normal!! help! x

Awww, I really feel for you, and I couldn't leave it unanswered. I do not feel you would get the right advice here, try putting this in conception with the title something like 'Secondary infertility - low progesterone' e.g.

Hope that helps

I had low progesterone, even lower levels than you. I took one round of Clomid and fell pg with dd2. Although Clomid is used to stimulate ovulation, in doing this is also significantly raises your progesterone levels too.

it not is.

Awww. Right... go to the bottom of this page and there is a list of shortcuts... Under Popular forums, there is conception. Press that and post this as you have in this one... I'll help you through and post for you if you need

Thing is they cannot possibly be 100% accurate because they cannot pinpoint precisely when you ovulate.
So to clarify, IF for eg they did the test 2 days earlier...or 3 days later, you may well have a peak inprogesterone level then.
Day 21 may not even be your day to peak....
These tests are not reliable in any shape or form.

Mine was 11 on day 21...they told me that this is a menopausal level.
Without any treatement or medications, i have managed to get caught out and it apears that i am up the duff.
Ds aged 8, 4 years of trying for a baby now.

Good luck and dont loose hope, how long have you been trying to concieve (ttc)?
