I just got my P4 results back and they were 4.9, what do you think the chances are that I ovulated? My temps look like I ovulated, but I didn't really get much ewcm but I did have a lot of cramping around the time of ovulation. This is my first month on Clomid.

I've had low P4 my last two clomid cycles. 7 and 6. My dr said that means I ovulated, but progesterone not high enough. She said it's a possibility to get pregnant with low progesterone levels, but not likely. Now that I'm on my 3rd round (waiting to ovulate) I am going to demand a prescription of Prometrium (progesterone supplements) to start taking after ovulation, as I don't think my body is going to produce enough on it's own. I feel like I'm wasting clomid cycles without it. What did your dr say about it?

How many days past ovulation were you when you went in for your P4 test? If you weren't 7dpo, that might be the reason for the low result.

My RE says progesterone moves in waves and anything over a 3 they consider ovulatory, but they would like it higher to support pregnancy and indicate good ovulation.

I have had 3 rounds of clomid and 8 rounds of Repronex injec. cycles. My doctor said anything over 10 they like to see. 15 prefered for medicated cycles. My one and only BFP/MC was greater than 60. Have had 29 & 30 something still be BFN. Had a "6" that my doctor said he wouldn't count against me (Kaiser only gives 3 BFN cycles in a row before dropping you) cause to him it was basically lack of "o" and a 12.6 he wasn't very hopeful with either. These are all done 4dpiui. He has me start prog. "after" that b/w (that evening) to reduce the risk of tubal preg.

My RE said that anything above 5 means you did have some ovarian action, but it was minimal. If I used Clomid or any other medication to stimulate the ovaries, he wanted the level over 15. On a non medicated cycle, he wanted anything above 10.

Did you do any meds to stimulate O?

I talked to my doctor today, she looked at my temp charts and said that it looks like I ovulated late and that could be the reason for a low progesterone level, I was only a few dpo at the time. I'm going to have it tested again tomorrow. Hoping for a higher number this time!!
