My ND tested my progesterone levels on cycle day 19-My cycles are 25-26 days long. It came back 11.1 She said she likes to see it higher and 11 is her cut off. So I am on 5 different herbs and Vitex to help increase progesterone in hopes of conceiving. I conceived my first son 5years ago at age 29 with no issues and quickly. This is another story. My weight has been creeping up since I stopped nursing my son (nursed him for 2years). I am also taking supplement from ND for Thyroid-she said it was normal by mainstream medicine numbers but not by her requirements. I am eating healthy- exercising at the gym both cardio and strength training. I have had all the yearly blood work done and everything came back normal. HOWEVER.....I was at the OB GYN for recurring yeast infection (which turned out to just be aggravated from heat and not an infection) and I weighed NINE pounds MORE than I was 3months ago when I started the supplements for progesterone and Thyroid-I am also still trying to conceive. i plan to set up an appt with the ND but wasn't sure if anyone had any insight.....or even any insight to the progesterone number being at an 11. This is all new to me.
