My Progesterone Levels are Low, what's normal if I am TTC?


This is my first round on Clomid, I started Dec. 25, took clomid days 5-9, took a progesterone level test on CD21, my dr. said I ovulated, but it was only a 4. What is normal and healthy to carry a healthy pregnancy, and if I do get pregnant, will I take medicine to help my progesterone levels?

My dr. said the lowest that means I ovulated was a 3 and I was a 4, but he said that was low and wanted to see me at a much higher level, he just didn't say how high and I haven't asked yet, but he did say I ovulated.

progesterone should be 30 or more. i just had this done and my levels are 20, which is low, so doesn't look like i ovulated.

you will probably be put on meds to increase the progesterone if and when you do get preg, until the end of the first trimester.

good luck!

I am in my first cycle of clomid right now. My Dr. told me my progesterone test results were low-normal at 8.2. That a healthy woman conceives at a minimum of 15. His goal is to get me anywhere from 15 - 20.

From what I understand, the progesterone is needed to ovulate. This also is what the clomid does, help you ovulate. Woman I know of who have taken clomid to get pregnant did not have to take anything during pregnancy to prevent miscarriage. Keep in mind, everyone's body is different.

I've never heard of a 4 meaning you ovulated. My dr said my level at 9.7 was a sign of ovulation but he prefers to see a number greater than 10 to mean pregnancy. (I did get pregnant with my 9.7 tho) 矛f they continue to track your p4 if you do get pregnant, and it stays low, they will put you on progesterone suppositories or suppliments.
Good luck!
