7 days post transfer and progesterone level 15
by HOPETOBEAMOM, Apr 27, 2007 12:00AM
I am confused about progesterone levels. I have PCOS and I am normally have very low progesterone level. I had a blood work and was told that my progesterone level is 15, but they would not tell me if I am pregnant. I am taking PIO shots. Is it possible to tell if I am pregnant?

Good question!
A progesterone of 15 is what one would expect when taking intramuscular progesterone. It is too early to tell if you are pregnant, because the hormone that we measure to determine if you are pregnant is HCG. Since you took a shot of HCG only 12 days ago, if your physician did a pregnancy test today and it came back positive, it would be impossible to know if it was left over HCG from the shot, or from a pregnancy.
I know it is a long wait from the transfer to the day of the pregnancy test! Let's keep our fingers crossed for good things when you go for your pregnancy test in a few days. I assume that you have a pregnancy test scheduled?

I am just wondering what a pregnant women's progesterone would be. I have blood work done every month to make sure that I ovulated, and mine has been 24!! I was just curious
