trying to conceive , low progesterone?

Question

I had my blood drawn around day 22-23 of my cycle. The doctor warned me it might not give an accurate reading because it was past day 21. My progesterone was 0.6. I was having a lot of spotting every month 5 days before my actually period starts so I assumed I had a hormone imbalance. My cycles have been 24-26 days very consistently. I'm on day 32 and no period. If my progesterone was that low, is it even possible I could have conceived?

Answer

Typically a 3 means you ovulated but that would be weak ovulation. 10 is a good number and means you could likely carry a baby. If lower than 10 you may need progesterone . But since it wasn't @ least 3- you didn't ovulate therefore can't be pregnant 😊if u have more questions just ask I have a similar situation 😊

Answer

I have low progesterone too! Think of it as a good thing you know now because you can fix it with meds! My dr gave me clomid and my progesterone at 21 days was 35.7. Five days later I'm at 54 and got my bfp! My dr said anything 10 and up is good for a pregnancy!

Answer

Have you taken a test ?

Answer

It's probably not likely you conceived, because with a level that low you couldn't have ovulated.
I'm in the same boat as you, and my level last month was actually a .7. 
Do you mind if I ask the details around this? Why are you getting your progesterone tested? I haven't been able to ovulate yet after stopping the bcp in September.

Something I haven't been able to understand is how I get a period at all (pretty regular, about 34 days) each month without my progesterone being able to drop.

Answer

Progesterone is what maintains a pregnancy - you can get pregnant but with numbers that low you'll need progesterone supplements (usually vaginal suppository) so you don't miscarry.
