What should progesterone levels be? /implantation failure question please x

I'm so concerned by progesterone levels that I'm having mine tested tomorrow (whilst on lubion and ustrogesten pessaries).

When I had the 21 day progesterone level with my GP my levels were 32 confirming that I'd ovulated. My GP said that it needed to be over 28 to confirm ovulation. That still seems to be on the low side to me.

So my question is before/after ET what is an optimal level? It's my way of ruling out if I've got an issue with implantation due to this.

If it's not this... Any ideas how the treat recurrent implantation failure? Not sure I've got the mental strength to keep getting BFNs.

I might add they can't find anything wrong with me from the preliminary tests they've done on me. Decent Antral follicle count, high amh (no underlying cause), normal shape uterus, respond really well to meds, good quality embryos apparently. Having a tough time accepting my embryos were just duds and that it's just a numbers game. Convinced there's something wrong with me x

My clinic like it to be over 50. I had a failed cycle with a level of only 19. As Kitscat says there’s a long thread on progesterone levels started by scarlet13 which is well worth reading xx
