Hi,

I dont think you got the timing wrong. Serum progesterone values can be sometimes misleading and are not always reliable.
You clearblue fertility monitor seems to be right. Dont base judgement on serum progesterone levels.
You seem to have ovulated.

Hi I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks gestation last year, the baby didn't grown from 5 weeks. I miscarried naturally at home. Since the miscarriage my periods vary though the doctor still says they are regular. I worry I don't ovulate? Do you think as I have got pregnant before that I do ovulate?
My cycles are as follows:
October 29 day cycle
November 33 day cycle
December 28 day cycle
January 36 day cycle
February 24 day cycle
March 27 day cycle
April 27 day cycle
I am worried that I wont conceive again and I am 42 years of age and have a high BMI of 45.
I am working on eating healthy and exercise.
Do you think I can conceive again? I am worried I will have another miscarriage.
I had bloods taken to rule out polycystic ovaries in December, I had bloods taken on day 30 of a 33 day cycle. I have been reassured my bloods are ok but I would value your opinion. Unfortunately I don't have my LH and FSH levels all they said is they are in single figures. Serum estradiol was 265pmol/l, serum prolactin at 8.6pmol/l, sorry I have no further information.
Please help me as soon as you can. My doctor says stop worrying because I have conceived before I should conceive again naturally.
The menopause worries me
