Progesterone Blood Tests

[MaybeMummy]

Hey girls... had one of the above done this week... onday to be precise (a.f due sat (ish)... would they be able to see if i was pregnant from this test? e.g would it be increased greatly?

Cheers

Your progesterone does increase when you are pregnant, but if this is not what they are looking for, I would think it is unlikely that they would confirm a pregnancy this way. I had the test the month I got pregnant, and reckon I ovulated a day or so before the 21 day progesterone test, so would have been pregnant but maybe not implanted. When I went to the docs for the results, she was all ready to refer me as the results were so low - 5 I think - but I had my bfp by then!
I think charting your temp is the only way to monitor ovulation - I knew I had ovulated late that month from my temps, which is why the results were low.
fingers crossed for Sat - are you going to test?

to be honest...im just leaving it now... if a.f shows, then she shows...

Im so fed up of being excited and then it being a bfn.

Just wondering has anyone actually found that blood test to be useful or conclusive ? Both my friend and I have had them in the past and both of us were told they were 'inconclusive' so they proved to be a complete waste of time.

I agree with what someone else wrote above.... even tho it would rise if you were pregnant... they wont test your blood to see if you are pregnant because the test is to measure progresterone (spelling lol)

I had to give another Day 21 Test, because thats 6 months at the fertility clinic and they like to do the regular tests every 6 months to make sure there is no difference.... because I ovulated at Day 11 in my cycle i thot wow they will be able to let me know early if am preggers or not but doctor said they dont test my blood for that.

Just what they are soely testing on
