  • Questions About Clomid and Progesterone

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I was recently put on Clomid by one of my doctors because my progesterone levels were "not so good".

    My first question is if my LMP date was wrong (I did not keep a close track) could my progesterone test levels be affected by this and should I ask for a blood pregnancy test before I take the first pill in five days?

  • Estrogen Levels Too High

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    My doctor did blood work on me, I was having pregnancy symptoms and the test was negative, it turns out my estrogen level is higher than my progesterone and I have polycystic syndrome. She said that means I am not ovulating. And that’s why I had trouble conceiving the 2 children I have now. It took us 7 months to get pregnant with our 2 year old.

  • Progesterone & Hcg Levels

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I just went in for my 3rd blood test. I think I'm about 5 weeks along - but not too sure as I haven't officially seen my doctor yet.

    1st blood test hcg: 315 and progesterone was 24.6
    2nd blood test hcg: 900 and progesterone was 18.0 (this was 2 days after the 1st blood test)
    Still awaiting the results from the 3rd blood test.

    Should I be concerned about these levels? My nurse told me the level they like to see for the progesterone is 20. Should I be concerned about this?

    Thanks,
    Melissa
