Can The Progesterone Level Really Detect Pregnancy?
Hi. I had my 21 day progesterone level checked (it happened to be on day 22 because the office was closed on day 21) and my level came back at 52.4 and the office is extremely excited about this number and thinks I could be pregnant. I am on my 6th, and final, round of clomid. I have been trying to conceive for over 2 years now with 2 losses in that time frame as well. I am on edge now since the office is so excited but can the progesterone level really detect pregnancy? I don't want to get too hopeful only to be crushed, again. Thank you!
Hello dear user! I have gone through your query and understood your concerns! Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic. I'm glad to hear you are having the chance to be pregnant after such time of trying to conceive. High levels of progesterone, especially that level you have found from your test is found during pregnancy and especially in the third trimester. But you of course have been induced to pregnancy so additional progesterone in blood may be found. I would recommend you to do another test that is indicative for the pregnancy, and is more quantitative. It is called "Blood B-HCG". If that test comes positive together with the high level of progesterone you have, you are for sure pregnant.
