Hi ladies. When I got pregnant last June, my progesterone level at 7 dpo was 18.6. For my past 2 cycles of ttc, I have used Ovidrel to trigger ovulation and my progesterone levels were 13.6 two cycles ago, and then 13.3 this past cycle. My doctor is out of town for a couple of weeks so I can't schedule an appointment to discuss this, but I think I'm going to email him to ask if I'm better off nixing the Ovidrel this month and letting my body ovulate on its own. What do you guys think? Have you ever heard of someone's progesterone level being lower since triggering with Ovidrel?

Thanks for your help.

I wouldn't really worry to much if your progesterone only dropped a little like that. Alteast with the trigger you can pinpoint your ovulation to increase your chances of a BFP! good luck!!!

this is from the fertilityplus site.. its great to help understand hormone levels

"A progesterone test is done to confirm ovulation. When a follicle releases its egg, it becomes what is called a corpus luteum and produces progesterone. A level over 5 probably indicates some form of ovulation, but most doctors want to see a level over 10 on a natural cycle, and a level over 15 on a medicated cycle. There is no mid-luteal level that predicts pregnancy. Some say the test may be more accurate if done first thing in the morning after fasting."

I've never heard of that. In fact, I take a booster of Ovidrel to *raise* my progesterone at 3 DPO.
