Low progesterone post ovulation?

Question

Hey, just had my 2nd natural IUI on Tuesday. Today (Saturday 4dpo) I had my progesterone check and my value was 8.55 (last month it was almost the same). I started progesterone today evening. Should I be concerned with these values? Can I still be pregnant? Is this very low? The nurses just said I ovulated and can start progesterone. We’ve been trying for our second baby since January 2020. I had a miscarriage last December (11 weeks)

Answer

Anything under 10 is considered “low” but you should be having your progesterone checks 7 DPO as progesterone peaks 6-8 DPO. So your level could be lower because it’s not at its peak yet. Are you doing oral, suppositories or injectable progesterone? Yes, you can still become pregnant with low progesterone levels, but progesterone is what supports a pregnancy so if level is low should be on supplements. Level does confirm ovulation occurred
