Margret: I know for a fact that clomid will increase your progesterone levels. I do not think that the fact that your level is high will necessarily equate with pregnancy. I would wait until you are late and then check a test. I would also suggest that you check a level once you see you are pregnant as it sounds as if you may have a chronically low progesterone.
