Question 1

why do i have a low temperature after ovulation? is this due to my progesterone or estrogen levels being high or low? i have spotting during my cycle.

Accepted Answer

Unreliable: Temperature monitoring is unreliable. If you are trying to determine ovulation use an ovulation kit instead. Works much better.

Question 2

my progesterone level was 1.2, this was checked in the morning 3 days post ovulation. day prior to ovulation ultrasound showed a 16mm follicle which was 4 days prior to test. i'm concerned its low, is this too low to 
conceive? did i ovulate?

Accepted Answer

Ovulation testing: Ovulation testing should be done in the midluteal phase typically 7 days after ovulation. Testing 3 days after is a bit odd and makes it very hard to interpret the result. I would see an Obgyn and schedule official ovulation testing. These tests must be done in a particular way to get interpretable results

Question 3

what should the ratio be between your estrogen and progesterone levels be after ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Higher estrogen: You estrogen level in general should be much higher than your Progesterone levels. Normal estrogen levels are about 150-300 and normal Progesterone levels are about 10-25.

Question 4

my progesterone levels 7 or 8 days post ovulation are 15.59 ng/ml. am i ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Progesterone: Hi, 15.59 ng/ml is a good level mid cycle and after ovulation, so you should have ovulated then.

Question 5

took clomid (clomiphene) n ovitrelle this cycle. 400mg progesterone vaginally from day after ovulation. what should progesterone level be at 7dpo with supplements?

Accepted Answer

Check with OB: This is a very specific question your OB or fertility specialist will share with you if they are rechecking levels, but would expect it to be at normal post-ovulatory level with this therapy to improve success

Question 6

i have discovered i get frequent palpitations after ovulation around when levels of estrogen & progesterone intercept each other. im young and healthy, normal ecg, so are these palpitations just a result of my cycle & nothing to worry about?

Accepted Answer

: Difficult question to answer. Discuss with local Dr. as you need a good history and exam to make this judgement.

Question 7

cd25 progesterone level 14; no fertility meds. usually have breast tenderness after ovulation, but not this month. could this mean i'm pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Take the test: If you want to know if you are pregnant, take a test. In today's world you do not need to wonder if you are pregnant or not based on symptoms. Pregnancy tests are available at any pharmacy and in minutes you will have your answer. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.

Question 8

if i have the day 21 progesterone test done 2 days after ovulation, will it show that i've ovulated?

Accepted Answer

Confusing: The day 21 Progesterone test is a misnomer. It is actually a midluteal phase progesterone. The test should be done 7 days after ovulation when Progesterone is at its peak. If you ovulated on day 19 then then test should be done on day 26.

Question 9

does progesterone after ovulation a sign of menses?

Accepted Answer

Progesterone: After ovulation confirms that ovulation happened, and (almost) guarantees you will start a period if not pregnant.

Question 10

can i take progesterone pessaries 3 days after ovulation?
