I took a blood test to for my progesterone levels on day 23 of my cyle.
It came back slightly low 14.8. Has this happened to anyone? What does this mean? What is normal?

From www.fertilityplus.org/faq/hormonelevels.html . "Progesterone (P4) 7 dpo 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."

Was day 23 for sure 7 dpo for you?
If you were not medicated, according to this, 14.8 would be really good if a natural cycle is over 10 but they want 15 for a medicated cycle. It does look like you ovulated.
WHy did they tell you it was slightly low?

^ You like? Hehe! I have just a great feeling today! I watched Hannity a bit tonight. He was broadcasting from one of the "tea parties." Joe the Plumber was there. It was awesome! It really feels like a grass roots revolution is brewing! I love it! I also thought the Homeland Security department's report calling everyone in attendance "right-wing extremists" was so stupid! OMIG. Have you read that stupid document? Sorry to hijack this thread.

Well, let me first just say that the term "Tea Party" is TEN TIMES better than "teabagging." With that said, LOL, no... I haven't read the document. And Homeland Security can lick my left ovary. J and I think that this country needs a good revolution. It was only a matter of time!! And to keep this on topic.... this is all enough to gie you low Progesterone! LOL.
