Thanks for your reply. I am not able to see my doctor (OBGYN not RE, yet) until the end of this month. I called for the results yesterday. I was wondering, though, are you saying that because it was more than 7 days past ovulation that it should even be much higher than if I had a regular 28 day cycle. I thought progesterone starts dropping right before menses, so if my cycle was shorter then it might be lower. And by lackadaisacle are you saying I have lazy progesterone? ;-) Thanks for your clarification.
