Day 21 Progesteron Blood Test

I have just received my results (after having to call a doctor) stating I was a "40" on my Progersterone Blood test.  I do not understand what this means and certainly was not given the answer.

With this being said I was on progesterone to start a period and the Clomid day 3-7.  Is this a good result?  Does this show I ovulated?

A progesterone of 40 @ 7 DPO indicates a very GOOD ovulation, so that's GREAT;)
Anything above a level 2 indicates some form of ovulation, & in a non medicated cycle (no progesterone meds) a level of 10 or more is good, & on a medicated cycle they are looking for a level of 15 or greater.

Many times when your levels are really high, it's likely that you may have ovulated more than one eggie;)

I'm pretty sure that progesterone @ 7DPO has nothing to do w/PCOS, but since I don't have that, IDK, maybe it does.

& I do know for women who need to start up AF, it does get it to start, once you get off of it;)
Good luck this month!  You should get on the Feb 2010 2WWers thread!!!  There are lot's of us girls in our LONG 2WW!!!!!!! ;o)

I have never heard of progesterone to start your period as it delays the estrogen from starting your AF. I was told that CD 21 it should be over 20 to show ovulation. That is a high number and yes you have ovulated for sure! NOw have they checked your FSH? Cause a to high of a number can indicate PCOS.
