Hello ladies,
For those of you who don't lurk or have already graduated from the TTC thread, I have been TTC passively for 3 months and actively for 5 months with no success. After speaking with my doc, she ordered CD3 and CD21 bloodwork tests to make sure all was well. I have been ovulating without issue everyone of the last 8 months, so I was not particularly concerned with the CD3 test, but it was more of a check the box thing. However, I was more interested in a possible progestrone difficiency, since I haven't gotten KU after 8 months, I have low BBT both pre and post O, I have jagged temps, and I think I had a chemical pregnancy last month.
I recently got all my levels from both tests. My CD3 (FSH, LH, and Estraodil) were all happily in the middle of the normal ranges, so that was good. The CD21 test though was a big more concerning. My progestrone level was 9.9. Now I know that's not horrible since you ideally want it in the 10-15 range, but it's also not great either.
My question is - for any other ladies who had thier progestrone level tests, what were the general ranges (if you don't mind sharing) and for those who have been diagnosed with LPD or low progesterone, at what point did your OB or RE advice you to take progestrone supplements? Has anyone just gone ahead and taken progestrone cream or possibly B6? Thanks for any advice/info you can give!
