I just got the results and I am not happy. My progesterone results are only 18! I know that is close to the minimum they like to see on medicated cycle, but I thought with the 400 mg of prometrium, they'd be in the 20's somewhere! This is where my numbers were with clomid, without prometrium.

Is this a GOOD (not just OK) number with the prometrium, vaginally? I am so p.o.'ed at my body right now. It is just NOT cooperating with what I want to see.

I've been doing GREAT on my nutrition and exercise, and I gained 3 pounds and lost 0 inches This just plain sucks.

I'm really not sure what good numbers are in this regard...my fingers are crossed for you, though!

I'm not sure either, but it definitely means you O'd! Good luck!!

Just wanted to offer encouragement. WHen i got pregnant on clomid, my progesterone at 7dpo was only an 8. I carried 6 days past my due date with an almost 11 pound very healthy baby.

Thanks, ladies! It's so nice to vent here without thinking things through

I have, of course, been surfing for some answers and from what I've read (even through doc's replies and the like), the progesterone number is quite controversial, as it can increase or drop quickly, even just with eating a meal! So... they say that despite all this, if you see something over 15, with a medicated cycle, then they are pleased as peaches and anything over that is just icing on the cake.

Of course, few talked about how prometrium would impact the results, but I have to believe that with the trigger and the good deal of O pains I had on Sunday that I had a good, strong O.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Congrats on yoru baby, Amber! That is an uplifting story.
