progesterone level

hbb
I am on metformin and ovulated on day 15.  I got a progesterone level drawn on day 21 and it was 11.  They said that means I ovulated.  Does that number sound low? Is there any chance I could be pregnant with that level? What are other people's progesterone levels on day 21??? Thanks!!!

I found this -- you're was good.  I don't think metformin is classified as "medicated cycle".  

for 7DPO

A progesterone test is done to confirm ovulation. When a follicle releases its egg, it becomes what is called a corpus luteum and produces progesterone. A level over 5 probably indicates some form of ovulation, but most doctors want to see a level over 10 on a natural cycle, and a level over 15 on a medicated cycle. There is no mid-luteal level that predicts pregnancy. Some say the test may be more accurate if done first thing in the morning after fasting.

W/out Clomid I was 12.  On Clomid I was 24.

I think that number is pretty normal. My day 21 progesterone levels were between 50-125 when I was on Clomid, but it isn't an indicator of pregnancy at all.
