High progesterone levels 21 day bloods and pregnancy signs

[Prayingformyrainbow96]

I’m looking for anyone who’s had similar signs to me,

I had my day 21 blood tests and my progesterone levels came back as 117 which I was really surprised with as I have PCOS however have been taking clomid (1st round 50mg, 2nd round was 100mg) I’m currently on CD24 and I’m having period pain like cramping, I’ve been waking up feeling really sick however haven’t actually been sick, I had this horrendous headache for 2 days last week, peeing loads including waking up a few times to go to the toilet, really bad heartburn and I normally like omelette however my partner made one yesterday and the smell was turning my stomach!

Im just wondering has anyone had a high progesterone level on day 21 and conceived that month? I know the only way to know is to take a pregnancy test however I don’t want to take one early as I don’t want to see a negative and be let down so would rather wait until AF is actually late before taking one.

BUMP

Sorry I can give you a definitive answer but I'm also on clomid and my progesterone tests have been very high. I haven't got pregnant yet. Good luck though, I hope this is it for you.

Can I ask how long you’ve been on clomid and what strength? Also what are your progesterone levels?

Thank you so much! I really hope you get your BFP soon, it’s so heartbreaking 💔

I've been on clomid for 8 cycles, 100mg. My levels have been in the 40s, 70s and 90s, it is good because they say they hope for anything around 30!

It's so hard to comprehend why it's not happening, hopefully we both get good news soon x

@Harper02 I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a positive result for you soon! 🤞🏽 Thank you so much for your reply x

Hi! I was on a Letrozole cycle (having previously had progesterone levels <1 everytime I checked). My day 21 progesterone was 108 and I tested positive 9dpo. Currently 7 weeks pregnant.

when the clinic called to tell me the results, I’d already had a positive on digital and they said they weren’t surprised with numbers that high.

good luck op! Hope it’s your month 🤞🏽

@septembersapphire7 Oh wow that’s amazing! A huge congratulations! 🎉🎉 Was it your first cycle?? Did you have an early signs? Thank you so much! I’m praying!! X

@Prayingformyrainbow96 second cycle on 5mg Letrozole.. and signs were like normal pmt (sore breasts and some tiredness) but the thing that made me test was a sudden day of non stop sneezing. I just couldn’t stop even after taking a ceterizine tablet and I took the test in the evening around 9pm fully expecting a negative but it was an obvious positive on a cheapie.

I’d been trying since July 2021 and had paid privately for infertility clinic just to get the Letrozole so I was grateful it happened quickly as I was prepared to go down ivf route after the many months of disappointment. I guess we’re all on our own journeys and can only wait for the right time. Sending baby dust your way ☺️

Awh I’m honestly so happy for you! 😌😌 Gives me hope aswell! Thank you so much for your reply! Wishing you all the best with your pregnancy! Xx

Hey OP! I didn’t have a progesterone test but what you’re describing is exactly why I ended up doing a pregnancy test - currently 21 weeks pregnant! GOOD LUCK!

@Twiggywinkle13 Do you remember what symptoms you had all together? Also do you remember what CD you got your positive result? I’m getting my hopes us so high! 😂 A huge congratulations to you! X

Bumping to see if anyone else has any stories 😌

I’m hoping I’m not too late with this reply! I was incredibly lucky and I know others who’s journey has been much harder but I scoured for positive stories at the start of our testing so hoping this helps someone like the positive stories did for me!

My day 21 bloods on my first round of Letrazole was 95 (with my clinic looking for anything above 10 as a sign of ovulation) and on day 23 I got a positive test. Due in 6 weeks time.

Interestingly I had a HycoSy at day 10 of my cycle and due to having PCOS my cycles could be any tbh img between 30-45 days. Two days after my HyCoSy I started heavily bleeding, heavier than I’ve ever had before and I assumed it was an issue from the test, rang the clinic and they told me sometimes HyCoSy’s can bring on a period and so to start the tablets the following day. 23 days lasted I was pregnant so days before I was even expecting to be able to start my first cycle!

I hope you got your positive test 🤞🏼

@Dogmum11 thank you for your reply, I’m so chuffed you had your positive and I’m hoping your pregnancy has gone well? ❤️ It’s such a stressful journey! Unfortunately I had a few negatives and then had a very strange period was spotting first the very dark but quiet heavy bleed for a day then came off the next day and then spotted again the day after before coming off again so was a really weird one, I’ve started the clomid again this cycle so tonight is day 3 so praying this will be our month as this will be month 3 of clomid now xx

Hey everyone hope you all well.

I’m on cycle day 13 on my second clomid cycle I started off on 50mg my levels wasn’t high enough so she just said to try 100mg this month I didn’t really get any symptoms while taking clomid as such just hot flashes bad, I’ve been pain free for a while and starting to get sore lower abdomen pain like ovulation is starting or happening if that makes sense but this happened last month, I’m just hoping it’s our month this time I can’t even sit down both sides are sore taking paracetamols to see the pain, never wanting something so much ❤️
