Default Progesterone Levels

Okay, I get very confused on this subject and am hoping someone can help me out.

I had some early symptoms of pregnancy and thought it best to have some BW done. So the results came back that the HSG was less than 2. Which meant I wasn't pregnant. But my progesterone level has me completely confused.

It said it was 10.29 which the nurse at the RE's office said I either am getting ready to ovulate (which of course is wonderful news) or just ovulated. So now I am confused because I thought I ovulated by checking my CM two weeks ago. I don't temp because my temps are very wacky and not trustworthy.

Has anyone else had levels this high? What does this mean for my chances?

Thanks for all your help, Cysters. I have come to depend on this site So much!

CM is not the most accurate way to check for O when you have PCOS. I'm guessing you are not medicated on Clomid/Femara/Injectables? I recommend starting to temp as soon as you start a new cycle (unless you get a BFP!). Checking CM and temping is good. I personally don't check CM. But I'm also on monitored, medicated cycles, so I get an u/s don at CD 12 and then, if my follicles are mature, I trigger and have an IUI done a day or two following. I wish you luck in the rest of your cycle. BD like crazy, since your P4 points toward pre-O or just post-O.

p4 usually starts out pretty low before Oing, then AFTER Oing, it starts to rise, since the follicle doesn't become the CL and start kicking out the progesterone until after it kicks out the egg. I have never heard of p4 being high when you are "getting ready to O". So, most likely you already Oed. p4 should peak at 7 DPO, and then, if you are not PG, after 7 DPO the p4 levels start to fall, and go back to pre-O levels about 14 DPO which causes AF to show.

If you are PG, then the p4 levels will continue to rise past 7 DPO (if the CL is functioning properly). PG p4 levels should be higher than 15. With a p4 of 10.29, it is either on its way up (you are between 1-7 DPO) or on the way down (you are between 7-14 DPO). If it is on it's way up, then your beta was drawn before implantation could have accured (about 7 DPO), and you still have a chance of getting your BFP this cycle. If it on it's way down, then AF should arrive within the next 7 days.

I hope it is on the way up! If AF doesn't arrive in the next 7 days, I would POAS, and/or ask for another beta & p4.
