A member asked:

If progesterone is low is it unlikely to get pregnant?

Dr. Seth Derman answered

Specializes in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

Depends: The Progesterone level peaks about a week after ovulation. If the Progesterone is low a week after you think you ovulated the chances are very low. However, if you ovulated very late your Progesterone will rise that much later. In that case it is possible to be pregnant even with a very low progesterone.
