I couldn't remember the units when I posted but it must have been ng/mL. We are on cycle 10 without success so I have just been worried that something is going on that is being overlooked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-level-questions#post-2534503 Tue, 26 Apr 2016 15:52:39 +0000 WinterBee 2534503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: Ahhhhh! That makes sense! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-level-questions#post-2534422 Tue, 26 Apr 2016 14:22:59 +0000 delight 2534422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Veggiemama: are you in the states? If so I would assume if you tested it at 7dpo it might be closer to 10 which would be ok. I was put on progesterone though and mine was 9.8 as a precaution. </p> <p>@WinterBee: I think with UK and Canadian measurements it's over 15 nmol/ml for ovulation but over 5ng/ml in the states. Our conversion is roughly 3x more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-level-questions#post-2534414 Tue, 26 Apr 2016 14:16:53 +0000 WinterBee 2534414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Veggiemama: Depends on the units of measurement? The first time I got mine checked it was 8nmol. I didn't ovulate, and my fertility specialist said the number was too low and indicated I didn't ovulate.<br /> The next month it was 127 nmol! Whoa.<br /> I thought it had to be over 15 to show ovulation... but if your doctor seems happy then maybe it's ok? Maybe ask her to explain it to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-level-questions#post-2534406 Tue, 26 Apr 2016 14:07:23 +0000 LAZB 2534406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it sounds fine. I know that ideally it is over 10, but anything over 5 (I think?) shows ovulation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-level-questions#post-2534401 Tue, 26 Apr 2016 13:58:16 +0000 Veggiemama 2534401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-level-questions#post-2534084 Tue, 26 Apr 2016 08:56:06 +0000 Veggiemama 2534084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my progesterone level tested on 9 dpo/day 25 of my cycle at it came back at 6. </p> <p>My OB acted like it was great because it showed that I am ovulating, she said that the actual number didn't matter, she was only testing to confirm ovulation. I thought it was too low, but I wasn't tested on 7 dpo/21 day so I am not sure if that also makes a difference? </p> <p>My luteal phase is 14 days and my temperature raises appropriate after ovulation and stays higher throughout the luteal phase. No history of miscarriage, we are TTC baby #3 and I did not have any issues with progesterone or TTC my first two. </p> <p>So what do you think? Would you trust what my OB is saying or would you take Vitex or use progesterone cream or something else? </p>
