Q: progesterone level before ovulation should be > 3ng and < after ovulaltion at 10ng before ovulation couple with no ovulation. what do you do?

Medication: If you are trying to get pregnant and you had an ovulation test which showed that you were not ovulating then you should discuss with your doctor the options. There are medications available to help trigger ovulation.

Q: been ttc for 6 months. considering using progesterone cream after ovulation. seem to have a normal l phase length but maybe will help? viable option?

Luteal defect: Progesterone will not help unless you have LPD (luteal phase defect), and can only be diagnosed by an endometrial biopsy and serial Progesterone in the luteal phase. The literature questions the validity of this diagnosis, nevertheless after making the diagnosis I've helped many couples conceive by using vaginal progesterone.

Q: i'm on cd 8. my 2 follicles with clomifene are 19 mm and the endometrium is 8mm. should i start progesterone supplement after ovulation?

Not usually: So in general although progesterone is felt to safe safe there are some long terms risks. So you really should not take it unless it is needed. Normally you would want to check some blood tests 1 week after ovulation before you would consider starting the medicine

Q: no period since march. when to start vitex & natural progesterone to stimulate ovulation? dr also prescribed clomid (clomiphene). wait for period or start now?

Discuss with doctor: Since this question is regarding very specific questions about how to take the medication it is best to ask the prescribing doctor and clarify the plan with them. At age 45 i would clarify with the doctor your chances of achieving ovulation.

Question 1

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 2

usually 32 day cycle. 2nd mo of clomid (clomiphene) day 21 progesterone 28. ovulation kit said no ovulation. so how could blood say i ovulated. when  would i know if pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Multiple follicles: Your total Progesterone level could be elevated without actual ovulation occurring if you have multiple follicles making Progesterone but without a dominant follicle being present.  That's my best guess.  An ultrasound follicle study could be helpful to see how many and how large the follicle(s) are.  As far when you could know if you are pregnant, check a pg test on day 30, it should be pos if pg.

Question 3

did i ovulate progesterone level 3.6?

Accepted Answer

Ovulation and prog: A progesterone level over 3.0 is consistent with ovulation.

Question 4

did i ovulate progesterone level 3.6 day 20?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Progesterone of 3.6 is ovulatory any day of the cycle.

Question 5

did i ovulate progesterone level 3.6 on clomidday 20 if so when?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Your progesterone level indicates that you have not ovulated. Contact your doctor for a higher dose of Clomid (clomiphene) or a different approach. For more information www.askyourgynecologist.org

Question 6

opk should i take 200mg or wait 2 days to take progesterone? will progesterone hurt/stop ovulation if taken the first day of +opk or can it help.

Accepted Answer

Wait longer: Generally Progesterone should be supplemented only under a doctor's supervision to prevent confusion like this. Normal Progesterone levels do not rise until 3-5 days after lh surge, so starting earlier than this wouldn't really make sense. It's not likely to suppress ovulation, but will make the endometrium 'over mature' if started this early, which may stop implantation.

Question 7

progesterone level before ovulation should be > 3ng and < after ovulaltion at 10ng before ovulation couple with no ovulation. what do you do?

Accepted Answer

Medication: If you are trying to get pregnant and you had an ovulation test which showed that you were not ovulating then you should discuss with your doctor the options. There are medications available to help trigger ovulation.
