Low progesterone??

My post ovulation temps are really low, above cover line but only by about 0.2degrees, could this be a sign of low progesterone. I naturally have a low temperature, usually sits around 36.4 during the day, any time of the month, pre ov temps are around 35.5-35.7, highest they have been post ov is 36.6 but this month highest post ov temp I’ve got is 36.2, just thinking I’m not producing enough progesterone to affect my temps. I don’t have any other symptoms of low progesterone, periods are really regular, same length luteal phase every month, ovulation “confirmed” by temp & ovulation tests. I just don’t know what it could be that’s causing it to take so long for me to conceive

If you had low progesterone, it would be seen from day 7 of your temps usually. I have low progesterone and I have light/short periods. Only 10-11 days luteal phase and my temps start to drop from 7DPO. I've attached my chart for an idea :)

If your temps hardly rise at all, that could be because you haven't ovulated. No ovulation means no progesterone in luteal phase. To confirm ovulation you need to have 3 consecutive temps above cover line, usually about 0.5 degree Celsius above pre-ovulation temperatures.

Hope that helps!

I forgot to say, another sign of low progesterone is a slow temp rise after ovulation. As you can see in my chart.
