You've done everything right and your progesterone level looks great. All we can do is wait and you've given yourself a good chance at pregnancy. Keep us posted!

Heidi,

you're hpt may start giving you a faint line as soon as tomorrow, and would check then and we're hoping it's from early pregnancy and good ol' progesterone, keep us posted!

hello doctor,

today i have taken hpt.it shows NEGATIVE.so what is the reason of getting that stomach pain.

August 18, 2007

Heidi,

I'm sorry about the test, and would recheck tomorrow again and we'll try again next month. As for the stomach pain, can be due to many different factors, of which it seems that fertility may not be an issue (but we'll keep our fingers crossed for you tomorrow). It may be prudent that if you pain continues, that you consult a general physician as it can be from gastritis, stress, etc.

hello doctor,

2 days back i have started my cycle.it's my bad luck.that stomach pain is because of that upcoming cycle.now i don't have any kind of pain.now iam on 2nd round of clomid.my doctor said my progesterone level was good and iam ovulating on my own last month so he does'nt increase the dose.he has given me the same 50mg dose.is that ok.

August 21, 2007

Hi Heidi!

My doctor did not increase my dosage either because I am ovulating on 50 mg. I am on my third round, however...hoping this time, it will work. :-) Good luck!

August 22, 2007

thank you lexie for your response and encouragement.i hope this time will work for me.HAve A good luck lexie.this time is going to work with u.

hello doctor,

this month iam on second round of clomiphene citrate 50 mg.i went for an ultrasound on cd 14.it shows 1 follicle at a size of 20.so they gave me ovidrel shot on that night.we had baby dance on cd 13,14,15,16.is that ok .

i got one doubt doctor.

iam living in florida.iam planning to go on vacation this friday to pittsburgh that is on my cd 20.if i travel does it creates any problem in getting pregnant.can u please give me your advice.

September 04, 2007

We only ask that you enjoy your vacation, as traveling at this point shouldn't interfere with conception. Have Fun!

September 10, 2007

hello doctor,

iam back from my vacation yesterday.it went well.iam in 9 dpo. today iam feeling very fatigue.& some times iam expereincing many trips to the restroom.except that i don't have any kind of symptoms and i don't have any kind of stomach pain.why is that.could u please give me your advice.

September 10, 2007

Hi Heidi,

UTI can still cause may trips to the restrooom. These symptoms are usually not associated with fertility though, and only a visit to your general doctor for an examination can reveal what's going on

September 12, 2007

hello doctor,

my doc suggested me to take clomid because i have low progesterone i.e;around 9.and i have hypothyroid but it is under control.

iam on second round of clomid.today iam in 10dpo.just now i got my progesterone level.it was 21.so what do u think about it.is it good or not for getting pregnant.can u give me your advice.

September 12, 2007

Hi Heidi,

If it's 21ng/mL (almost always the units used in the USA), then it's an excellent level for pregnancy. In 2-3 days, you should be able to check an hpt, and keep us posted...

September 12, 2007

hello doctor,

i don't know whether it measures in ng/ml or not but iam living in USA.so i hope it's good.what do u think doctor.

September 12, 2007

i forgot to ask this doctor.usually what are the normal levels of progesterone.

September 13, 2007

This is a great level then, and in reality, anything greater than 3ng/ml is normal, but I usually give those under 15ng/ml Porgesterone supplementation

September 13, 2007

iam so happy.thank u doctor for your advice.

September 14, 2007

September 14, 2007

hello doctor,

today iam on 14dpo.i experienced vomitings today.i did'nt take hpt.is these symptoms related to early pregnancy or not.is it too early.can you give me your advice.

September 16, 2007

Hi Heidi,

These symptoms are consistent with preanancy (morning symptoms) but vomiting can be due to other things also. Check an hpt in the morning and Good Luck..

hello doctor,

today early morning around 5:30a.m i took hpt.it shows second line clearly.but doesn't match completely.iam so happy.when i show that to my husband he discouraged me.i took hcg shoton cd14.it contains the same pregnancy hormone right.he got a doubt may be that shot effects on the hpt.so does the shot still effects on hpt.i need your advice.today is 15dop.tommorow iam going to my doctor to confirm it.

September 16, 2007

Hi Heidi,

It is definately not the hCG shot you took triggering the hpt, as that goes away by 7dpo. I'm very hopeful that tomorrow you're going to post some really good news after you get your blood test!!!!! Please also recheck hpt tomorrow and...
