Well I am not regular so I never know when I ovulate. Since I had my insurance switched I have had a hard time trying to find a dr who will take me since I am in the middle of treatment. I actually went to see a dr in my area and she told me that my situation was a bit more complicated than she thought..it is a bit more than just being on the clomid.So she has reccomended me to a reproductive endocronologist. My appt isn't until October 20th. So I had the midwife I work for draw my blood. I was unaware of exactly when to have it drawn so I did it this time immediatly after ovulating. So what exactly is avarage?? Being a little over avarage is a good sign right?? When is a good day to test your progesterone level,how soon after you ovulate?? thank you soo much for answering my questions.....very much!!! amber >
