Morning girls
I have been to see a Nurtitionist about fertility recently. She advised me to do a course of saliva tests over the period of one whole day (from 6.00am until 3.00am the following morning) and then over the course of one cycle. So basically at various day over my cycle so I collected saliva at the same time every day. She e-mailed me the results today and they showed the following:
Luteal Progesterone Surge occured on Day : 16
Length of luteal Phase in Days : 14
Oestradiol Pre Ovulatory Peak Day : 11
Under Progesterone interpretation guidliens is said 'Poor Surge.
At the bottom of my results it said. 'Infertility occurs in about 10% of the population. The probability of anovulation or luteal phase defect causing infertility is 20-40% and 3-10%, respectively. Functional infertility occurs as a result of several conditions. Excessive oestrogen and progesterone levels inhibit FSH and LH, impairing ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum, this may then degenerate and become refractory to LH. Finally, if the corpus luteum falters in its production of progesterone (luteal defect), the endometrium deteriorates and is incapable of supporting the implanted embryo. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), has been associated with progesterone deficiency, increased oestrogen,or oestrogen/progesterone imbalances'.
So do I take it from this that i have a low progesterone level which is causing a LP defect? I though that anything past 10 days was okay?
Sorry this is a long thread girls but wondered how I interpret these reults and most importantly what I can do to resolve the issue.
At the bottom is gave me list of herbs and vitimans to take like Agnus Castus. I got back to see her on Saturday btu I am a bit worried about what these reults mean and I know you ladies know a lot more than most specialists!
Thanks

Oestradiol Peak to Luteal Surge :
11
Under Oestradiol interpretation Guildines it said 'A pre ovulatory peak was detected, suggesting ovulation in this cycle. Overall oestradiol production is reduced. LOW OESTROGEN LEVELS: Associated with stress, depression, headaches, and osteoporosis. Suspect Ovarian insufficiency.

Surge below normal for at least 3 of the 6 days immediately following ovulation, but subsequently rose to within normal levels.LOW PROGESTERONE LEVELS: Research has demonstrated a correlation between low progesterone levels and infertility. Delayed or insufficient progesterone production and or insufficient progesterone surge in the luteal phase reduces the chance of pregnancy. Suspect: Luteal insufficiency, Adrenal insufficiency.
The Testosterone levels were normal.
