Clomid and day 21 progesterone

[janineanne]

Hi there..just wondering...ive been taking clomid for 3 mths now and have ovulated all 3 mths..however my results of the progesterone day 21 bloodtest got lower with every month..is this normal and did anyone ever get pregnant that had this happen to them???? Im getting so frustrated of ovulating everymonth and not getting pregnant...FOR NO APPARENT REASON!  Grrrrrrr!

they all look like good numbers.   You ovulated every month so that is a good sign.   I'll tell you what the Dr told me.  He said from CD10-CD20 you need to bed at least every other day or when ever the mood strikes you.    I know that my level was at 42 on CD21 and now I'm 28 almost 29wks.   to me it sounds like the first month you either had multiple eggs release or it worked but wasn't sticky enough.    try not to stress yourself about it.  at least the meds are working. hopefully you have some good news for all of us soon!

Oh I see. Well, they are all good numbers. If I were to guess, I would say you probably had more than one mature follicle the first two times and one this last time. Best of luck this cycle!!!

hey..yes it went from 54 the first month..to 35 the second month and this last month was 15...im hoping it doesnt continue to decrease this time round..thanks for the info :)

Do you know the actual numbers for your progesterone tests? Anything over 10 is generally considered a good number, although they usually like to see a 12-15 or higher in a medicated cycle. Were all your numbers higher than that? If so, I wouldn't worry too much about it being lower than previous months.
