So the doctor said that anything over 30 is a good sign that we may be on our way to being pregnant. Kathy's level was 50.8, so that was definitely good news. It's amazing how good, good news can make you feel.
I'm still a little confused about how the Progesterone level works. The follwoing link: http://www.justmommies.com/articles/progesterone-pregnancy.shtml provides the following information on progesterone levels.
Progesterone during menstrual cycle
Day 1-14: >1 to 1.5 ng/ml
Day 15-28: 2-28 ng/ml
Progesterone during pregnancy
First Trimester: 9-47
Second Trimester : 17-147 ng/ml
Third Trimester: 55-200 ng/ml
So according to this chart Kathy's levels are already in the Second Trimester range. I believe the doctor has given her progesterone suppositories to take the last three days, so that may have elevated her numbers. I guess the important think is, she is above the 28 for a normal cycle. That is also probably why the doctor said anything over 30 was a good sign.
We will have to try and not get too excited yet, we still have to wait until next Tuesday to find out if we are pregnant.
