What does a Progesterone level of 61.3 mean?

Hello I was wondering if someone could answer a question or two for me. What does it mean when you oestradil of 505 and progesterone of 52.8. I have just done my first month of clomid 100mg day 2-6. Please could someone explain what the levels mean for me? thank you xx

Hello, just to share some information as I was just google searching this myself a few weeks ago.

This past month I did the 21 Progesterone test (ttc for over a year at age of 29-30) and I got a result of 65nmol/l which I believe is high. I ended up taking a pregnancy test (had no symptoms but just did it out of frustration) and got a BFP. I am now 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant and hoping everything works out.

I don't know if the high progesterone level indicated pregnancy or not but that is what happened with me!

Hi,

Thank u for the feedback. My cycle started on Friday, 11/12/09, was too down to come back here and actually write it... I so want to get pregnant.

This was my 3rd cycle of clomid. I haven't taken any this cycle as the doctor's on holiday and his partner says I should just keep trying on certain days of the cycle, he didn't want to provide a script for me to get another supply of medication although I was told originally we'd do six months of the treatment before going further. So.... I'm in limbo here...waiting for my doctor to get back.

One thing I can say, my period has moved up from 25/26 days to 28 days, I guess this makes timing more predictable although I don't know how long it will last or if it will go back to a shorter cycle.

Hi, Hanna! Here is our Medical Advisory Board doctor's response:

There is a possibility of early pregnancy with that high a progesterone level but it is more in keeping with induction of multiple ovulation. It's quite possible that the higher than normal day 21 progesterone level is a sign that more than one egg has been stimulated to develop and released, as a result of the treatment you are receiving.

The best person to interpret the finding and to guide you to the next steps in testing is your physician.

Dr. Philip Sarrel

Have you had any more symptoms or tests, Hanna? What day is it now?

Hanna,

Twins! double the fingers crossed, then!

I'll see if we can get one of the doctors on our medical board to comment on a progesterone level of 63.1 at this point in your cycle. It may take a few days, so hang with us -- you might get your own answer first! Please let us know if you do!

Hi, Hanna!

Welcome to EmpowHer, and thank you so much for your question. Let's see if we can help.

First of all, I presume that you are being monitored closely since you are TTC and are on fertility meds? It seems to me that the doctor should be sure to inform you of what everything means all along the way. Did you ask for an explanation about the progesterone level?

Progesterone is a hormone that your body produces during the second half of your monthly cycle. It helps build up the lining of the uterus in case an egg becomes fertilized and needs to implant.

In a pregnant woman, progesterone also helps the fetus develop, and levels rise with each trimester.

Since you are on fertility drugs, your hormonal levels are shifting throughout the month, in response to the medicines. I know that you are hoping your high level may be due to a beginning pregnancy, but it's a bit too early to tell anything like that. (Although let's hope!!! fingers crossed!!).

Here's a good explanation of progesterone during your monthly cycle:

And here's a very good page on hormone levels from fertilityplus.org:

And here's a general explanation of high progesterone levels (though again, yours is higher than the ones cited here):

And here is an explanation of high progesterone levels as well as some related symptoms, many of which would minic the signs of pregnancy (or, in another way, the signs of peri-menopause):

Does any of this help? Will you come back and update us on what you find out from your doctor (and on your results this month?) Wishing you all the best.
