I also had this problem with progesterone and let me add that if you are on clomid it can cause low numbers on the progesterone scale and also you must test for ovulation 7days past ovulation or the reading could be wrong like i my case where I got tested every day 21 and was still told no ovulation yet I got pregnant anyway...let me also add that you may need to find a doctor that will test you progesterone levels after you achieve pregnancy because low levels can cause miscarriage which I also had happen ...this last first trimester I took progesterone in oil shots which brought my levels up from 8.5 pregnant to 24 pregnant..just so info for you...be sure to talk to your doctor but know your info also..
