Low progesterone

[sammejayne]

Could someone help me with low progesterone symptoms?

Been monitoring BBT and acupuncturist has said progesterone is too low.

I am due thurs/fri and already have tummy ache sore boobs and light night I was in pool of sweat... is this a symptom?

Have you been to your GP at all to be tested for a luteal phase defect, its hard to just go on symptoms.xx

No don’t think I have which test is that just a cd21?x

I think you would have to have few tests. Usually people have spotting or short times between ovulation and your period instead of the normal 14 days. Have a read of this, it may help explain things.xx

Hi sammejayne. I would make an appointment to see your GP who can order some blood tests. The Day 21 progesterone test is done exactly when is says on Day 21 of your cycle. if the result comes back more than 30 it shows you have ovulated that month. He/she may also check out other hormone levels on Day 2 or 3 or your cycle, when you are bleeding. It will check to see if you have a luteal phase (after ovulation) deficiency. Any problems found, then I assume your GP will refer you to a fertility specialist. Good luck! Diane

hi- last cd21 I had was when I was on clomid and showed 34 with clomid. so without clomid I assume that would be low wouldn't it?

A result of 34 confirms ovulation. Diane
