Day 20 Progesterone

[Anonymous]

Hi:
I tested at 9.6 at day 20 (labs) and think I might have ovulated at day 19 (the pee sticks). Does this sound right? Is this number too low, or is it ok since I think I may have ovulated one day prior. Did I not ovulate?? What does this mean? I am on 50mg Clomid, this was the first month. Have been trying to concieve for 10 months now.

Its odd they are testing you on day 20 if you just ovulated...the testing should be done 7 days post ovulation to get an accurate reading. But nonetheless anything over 4 indicates ovulation...so that's good news!! Without know how many DPO you are its hard to say if that number is good or not. I know at 7dpo they like to see a level about 10 on a non medicated cycle and a level about 15 on a medicated cycle. I don't know if clomid counts as medicated or not.

What type of OPK are you using??? I tend to like th Clear Blue Easy Digital. It's a bit more pricey but takes the guessing out of reading lines...you can get them cheaper at Amazon.com...HTH!!!!

Thanks, that is good information!!! I was supposed to get a blood draw at day 21, but somehow I messed that up. They told me to use the test strips (I used Answer) and that I should ovulate on day 10-14 sometime. Since those days came and went and I hadn't tested positive, I called them and they told me to go for a 21 day blood draw. Just so happens that I think I ovulated on day 19, then tested on day 20. Anyways, the last month I didn't ovulate (hence now the Clomid). So from what you are saying (if I understand) is that chances are good I ovulated. So now I guess it is a wait and see game! How soon do I test (preg test) after ovulation? I did today (day 27) and it was negative.
