Perspective on progesterone

Le • Sat, Feb 25

I finally ovulated after 6 months off the bcp! Yay!

My level is 8.7 ng/ml (up from .7 ng/ml last month), which my doctor says is consistent with ovulation, and definitely fits in the little chart that they sent with my test results (anything over 4 was ovulating)

When I search on Glow, or the internet in general, I get SO many mixed results. Some sources say it has to be up to 30 before it's considered ovulatory. Some sources say 8.7 is ovulatory, but unlikely to conceive. Other sources say that level is only attained in the 1st trimester of pregnancy.

I'm confused because my doctor acted like this was a good thing! What do you think? Do I have any chances at all with a 7dpo progesterone level of 8.7 ng/ml?
