Progesterone Levels?

[Tinker315b]

Hi, hoping someone can help me!

I have an LP of 10 days, with spotting from 8-9 dpo, I had my day 21 bloods taking which was 7 dpo and these came back with a result of 28.7, my doctor says this is normal but I'm not so sure as most places I have read it says the reading should be 30+
I don't think its good to spot from so early on! Does anyone else have this issue and if so what was your blood result level? I just don't want to settle for "normal" if its not within normal range.

I have also been taking all vitamins including B6, B complex and magnesium for 6 months now and this hasn't helped! Thanks

Hi OP, just to add I also had bloods taken 7days before my period (my Lp is 13 days) and I was spotting from around 8dpo every month. My progesterone was exactly 30 which like you I felt worried about(I know it should be that or over but it was that spot on and due to spotting I was worried). I’ve not had any spotting so far this month but only on 9dpo, and also wondering whether to try the progesterone cream

Yea it seems the progesterone cream is a popular one! I don’t think it could do any harm could it? It’s just finding one that’s safe with good reviews I suppose. Your LP is the perfect length and even with the spotting it should affect your chance of conceiving x

Apparently low progesterone can be stress related too. My progesterone cream is just from wild yams , and a lot of evidence says it doesn’t do anything so maybe it’s a placebo effect ? Either way 7 days to 3 days I’m happy with!! I’m going to do it again this month (after my temp confirms ovulation )

The soya isoflavens is my first month using them and only did 5-9 cd, I heard best days is 3-7cd. I will have to wait and see! But no side effects from them. I did take the lowest dose though :) x

Thanks @tinker315b I guess not! Maybe I’ll get some next month if I’m still spotting. Just to say as well that I have read into the progesterone thing a lot and I think it can vary month to month! So some threads I’ve seen people saying they had reading of 21 then next month 45 x

Well I hope everyone has some luck this month and get a bfp! It’s really disheartening every month when af arrives after doing everything 100% right x

Just got the results back from the Day 21 repeat bloods, and has come back with 30.8 so she said that that is fine and that im 100% ovulating no problem. So I mustn't have low progesterone but still find it strange that I have a short LP. How is everyone else?

@tinker315b that’s good news, glad to hear things are going well... when u say short LP is that true period or spotting?

@italianwifey thank you! Well i spot slightly from 8/9dpo then af arrives at 11dpo. So 10 day LP, but spotting 1-2 days before x
