Anyone around to discuss Progesterone level 1 week after IUI

[fireplace]

This has been cross posted:

Hello,

I did injections & IUI this cycle. Now in the 2WW.
I took the HCG shot on Fri 6/20 and had IUI Sun 6/22.
On Sun 6/29 I had a blood test for progesterone. It was 4.22

Today's HPT was the first HPT that was actually negative yesterday I had a very faint positive from the HCG shot, still).

RE's nurse said that she was looking for something over 3 so they were happy.
I keep seeing day 21 progesterone levels, and I wasn't quite day 21.

Any thoughts/experiences?

We had twins in 2009 with the same protocol but progesterone wasn't ever mentioned to me back then.

Did you take any ovulation induction medications, like Clomid? If so, then medicated cycles like a higher level, at least 10. However, if you were unmedicated (not counting the trigger), then anything over 2 shows ovulation. That's pretty much all the info that the progesterone level gives you.

I did take Gonal-F at different level throughout my cycle. wow- a 10! that is really a lot higher.

Yea, my progesterone levels were 9.9 and 8.8 on clomid, so my progesterone has been supplemented during the 2ww of every treatment cycle since my third one. I'm considered a "weak" ovulator, aside from my pcos.

My doctor wants to see a 15 or above on any medicated cycles.

TY!
