i have been to the doctors this day and received my blood test results back as i have been ttc for over a year now i didnt think they would be any problems as i have 2 girls already but i have long cycles 38 days and she stated 3 of the test are fine but the last one they were testing your prodestrial and it is a bit low i had the blood test done on 22 as i general ovulate on day 25 i have been using ovulation test and for the last 5 months they have been pos on day 25 what is prodestrial and what happens if is low does it mean you cant get pregnant
Answer:
Could she have stated she was testing your progesterone level not prodestrial level?
Progesterone is A female steroid sex hormone that’s secreted by the corpus luteum following ovulation to prepare the endometrium for implantation and later by the placenta during pregnancy to prevent rejection of the developing embryo or fetus. It is also responsible for the rise in waking temperature, and for the change in cervical fluid and cervical position in the postovulatory infertile phase.
To help increase progesterone levels Vitamin B6 and/or herbs is the low-tech method to enhance your progesterone level. Otherwise you need a prescription to buy Progesterone from the pharmacist. Read about B6 (under Vitamins topic) and about herbs in the “Herbal Remedy” topic.
Hope this helps
