I'm trying for a baby and was on first round of Clomid from day 3 to day 7. The progesterone test on DAY 22 came out to be 74 which , I was told is a very good number for ovulation. Today is day 28, I'm 3 days away from my periods but the tests are negative. Is it too soon to be disappointed? what does such a high level of progesterone mean ?
Yes it is too soon. I was on clomid for 6 months. I was on my final dose (which was a triple dose) and I got pregnant then. It can happen the first month, 2nd or 6th. It will happen when it will happen. Just relax. Stress can cause many things to happen also. Good luck!
I got pregnant on Clomid but tested negative up until I was 2 days late.
Good luck!

It's hard not to be disappointed but please don't worry! This is just your first round. I didn't get pregnant until my third round of clomid. Listen to what the others have said about not stressing! The first 2 months that's all I did-stress. By the third month I had the attitude if it happens, it happens.... Voila! I got pregnant!
Best of luck to you and I hope you let us all know when the test is positive
=-)
We did the Clomid and an IUI and got pregnant the first time.
I agree with the other mamas...don't even get disappointed until you get your period! I went through 3 rounds of clomid over 6 months & even when I finally was pregnant with a viable pregnancy--the test was NEGATIVE for 2 weeks after I should of started my period!! Try to remain as calm & stress free as possible--I KNOW that is easier said than done, but try! Maybe some yoga, long walks... take care & good luck!
I can't speak for the progesterone level but I think it is too soon to be disappointed by a negative test. I don't recommend testing until your period is actually late in order to avoid an emotional roller coaster. Good luck to you!
Don't get disappointed yet. If your period doesn't show up in 3 days take a test and then another one a few days later - if the first one is still negative.
As someone who went through YEARS of infertility, stressing, trying to hard, sex becoming work etc, etc will NOT have an impact on getting pregnant or not. Life alone is stressful and plenty of people get pregnant. :)
With my first pregnancy it took 3 rounds of clomid and I was pregnant. Subsequent ones, wasn't so lucky.
Good luck!

Try not to worry. I used the same thing to get pregnant with two of my three kids. Your numbers are good for ovulating but that doesnt mean that you got pregnant this time. Don't let it discourage you. i showed negative on both my blood test that they did and still ended up pregnant. i know its hard but be patient. Just some tips I was given...Dont have intercourse for like a week before you are ovulating, start having it a day before suggested and a day or two after they tell you to stop, after intercourse dont stand up for about 15 minutes and put your feet up if posibile. I know it all might sound kinda silly but sometimes its the little things that help. Sorry i am getting a little personnel just want to help. Also the biggest thing i know you really want this to happen but you need to relax as much as possible about this. Stress is only stopping you from getting pregnant. We decided we werent going to try anymore for a while cause nothing was happening and in that month because I kinda stopped obbsessing about it we got pregnant. im sure the drugs had a lot to do with it but becasue i relaxed it allowed my body to do its thing. good luck and even if your not pregnant don't give up or be discouraged...Your numbers are good it's a great start if nothing else...
Do not be disappointed unless you start your period. Sometimes Clomid does not work the first cycle. The level of progesterone means your body is ovulating and there is a chance of pregnancy. Keep the faith. Trying for a baby is never easy, but the minute you relax and make it more fun than work, you'll have a little bundle in your arms.
The more you stress over it - even with the help of chlomid - your body won't let you get pregnant.
We did 4 months of chlomid - for me personally - it was WONDERFUL!! My body did EVERYTHING it was supposed to - yippee!!! However, we never got pregnant on it. We took the fun out of having sex and made it "we need to do this NOW so we can get pregnant".
It was only after we totally gave up - no more tests, temperature checks, drugs, etc. and just LIVED our lives did we get pregnant. We got a dog and six months after giving up I got pregnant - since I wasn't THINKING about getting or being pregnant, I thought I had the flu - that's when I found out I was pregnant.
GOOD LUCK!!! I hope it all works out for you!!
