    Hi,

    I have PCOS and i have had 2 missed abortions in the past....My gynec here wanted to check a few things ... My fasting insulin was 5.6 which is quiet normal now and he told to check progesterone on Day 20... My periods have been regulating a bit as i am taking Metformin(1500) everyday...So the result was 126 on day 20..he told me the level is quite good and i do not need to be induced and if i miss my periods then i shud probably test for pregnancy...(Even this cycle)...

    I am confused here...Does 126 mean i have ovulated this month or what? I asked him and he told me that i am in fact producing good quality egg so i should not stress myself....Moreover i have got my weight to 57 kgs from 67 in the past... Can someone here explain this progesterone stuff???

    Hi,
    As per my doctors, anything above 10 confirms that you have ovulated. Infact, some machines can go up to only 20(like in my doc's office), so anything above 20 confirms ovulation and considered a healthy count.

    Ais, If your progestrone value is more than 100 after 7 days of ovaluation, there are good chances that you are pregnant. Weight loss is key for PCOS, 10 Kg weightloss is awesome. Something tells me that good news is just waiting in your door step. Sticky baby dust to you

    Thanks for the reply... I came here in May and did not get my periods at all (Doc told it cud be the entire change of climate from India to Africa)...Then consulted doc and took Provera and got my periods in July end ...Then Metformin got my periods in 42 days in next cycle and last cycle was 3rd oct which came in 35 days...So i really got confused with the 20th day blood report....Does it mean i ovulated on 13th day?

    Am not really expecting anything this month because my hubby had been out of town due to work and we really didnt time anything and am having period like symptoms...But i need to wait another 6 days ...As it is just 31st day....If something good comes out, it will be a bonus...

    The weight loss was such a pain...But it has taken me a long time...

    AGR,
    1.72 signifies pre ovulation I think. After ovulation, it would range 10 and above(that's what my doc looks for).
