I've been super distracted all morning. My temps dropped for the third time today. I went in for a blood draw early this am to check my progesterone. I didn't expect to hear back yet, but the office just called and told me my level is 54.3  I know that doesn't mean anything except that the drugs are working. I was so nervous though that my levels would still be really low and that all the drugs wouldn't make a difference.
I honestly think my temps dropped because DH is home. They were high for the few days he was gone on business. I think I sleep better and move around less when I have the whole bed to myself.

Awesome news!
Is this a CD21 blood draw? I'm doing that tomorrow!
54.3 sounds GREAT---I hate to get your hopes up---but....
I don't really know anything about the progesterone count and what it means---but could a really high number indicate pregnancy?

I don't know for sure if a high level predicts pregnancy or not. I'm going to research that later. My guess is that it does not predict it.
This is what most people consider a CD21 draw, but it's really CD22 for me and 7 DPO. My doc doesn't automatically do it on CD21 like some seem to. It makes more sense to do a week after O, especially if you don't O on CD14 every month.

I did all this research tonight and read so many things on how high progesterone levels don't predict pregnancy. Then I come here and read all these posts and it gets my hopes up  I do hope it's a BFP, but if it's not at least I now know there are some drugs that can force me to have a normal LP.
