Progesterone Levels After Ovulation
QUESTION
Dear Midwife,
We have been trying to conceive for 9 months now so last month I had my progesterone blood levels checked on day 21. They came back as 14 which my doctor says indicates I did ovulate. However I have been looking things up on the net and they all seem to say levels need to above 30 for ovulation.I am 42, have a 20 month old who was conceived 2nd month of trying and then had one miscarriage conceived after 2 months as well. I am worried now that due to my age I have run out of eggs. Is my doctor mistaken?

QUESTION
Dear Midwife,
I found out I was pregnant last week. My first OB appt is next Monday. This is my 3rd pregnancy. I miscarried at 4 weeks with the first and at 6 weeks with the second.Naturally I am very nervous about this pregnancy and so I have been trending my own HCG and Progesterone levels since I found out I was pregnant. My concern is the the Progesterone level seems to be decreasing slightly each time I check.
I have listed the levels and the dates each was drawn below.
7 Aug 2009: HCG 662.3 Prog 33.8
10 Aug 2009: HCG 2346.0 Prog 30.5Progesterone Levels
QUESTION
Dear Midwife,
I am 39 years old. I got pregnant six months ago, everything was going well, but at 8 wks. suddenly I did not feel pregnant at all, two weeks later I had a miscarriage. My doctor said sometimes there is no explanation why this happens.Since I want to try to get pregnant again, the doctor recommended to do some test to check my progesterone levels. Results came back with a 7.5 and he recommends to be at least a 10. He is going to put me in treatment to raise the progesterone level.
