progesterone levels

Hi everyone I am confused we have been trying for a baby for 19 months and nothing, My GP have started doing tests and everything has come back normal. My cycle is regular and ovulation testing has proven positive around day 14 each month. My progesterone level on day 21 has come back as 40.4 What does this mean??? Please help

Hi!
The cause behind not conceiving can lie with any partner. Hence semen analysis is as important as your investigations. There are various reasons for this like ovum not being formed (ruled out in your case), polycystic ovary, hormone imbalance, hypothyroidism, local infection, blocked tubes etc. In males it can be infection, STD, varicose veins, hydroceles, poor sperm count, not enough motile sperms etc. Since a confirmed diagnosis cannot be given on net and without running some basic tests please discuss these possibilities with your gynecologist once. Take care!
