Progesterone
Why is this test done? I had my progesterone test done yesterday morning, 1 week after my IUI as planned.
Dr called me this morning to tell me that they like to see over 12 and mine was 42 and that's a good sign. So, what's the significance? Anything pertaining to actually being pregnant? I have some more homework to do.

Re: Progesterone
Progesterone is essential for healthy implantation of the embryo and to sustain the embryo/fetus until the placenta takes over at about 10-12 weeks.
If the progesterone is too low either the embryo won't implant or one could miscarry. Progesterone keeps the endometrial lining nice and thick.

Re: Progesterone
I have researched the he!! out of this and the answer to your question is no-however you can probably start testing in about 3 days at home.

Re: Progesterone
42 is a fabulous #!!!! I had a # of 22 at 9 days past ovulation. When the Dr called to tell me that number, she said be prepared for BFP...and 3 days later I got one. DS just turned 1 year!
Good Luck!!!
