    Hi Oscar,

    My test results in today from 5 wks and 1 day was Progesterone - 32. My doctor says that these levels are fine, and nothing to worry about. I did question him about it, but he was quite adamant that they were ok. I found a website that was useful
    http://www.birth.com.au/Info.asp?class=6620&page=8#prog
    according to this website - 9 - 47 is the range for Conception - 12 weeks.

    Is it ok to put a link to another site? Please let me know if it's not ok!

    Actually our progesterone is measure in nmol/L, and that site measures in ng/ml. To convert from ng/ml to nmol/L, multiple by 3.18. So really the range in ng/ml is 9-47, but in the units we use in Australia, it needs to be 28.62 - 149.46 nmol/L. So 32 nmol/L is at the lower end of the normal range, but 26 nmol/L just pops outside the range.

    Oh thanks Oscar!

    Omg! you are very knowledgable on this! Thanks so much. I am not going to worry dreadfully about the levels until the next test is done on Monday - it's a wait and see approach.

    But excitingly, my bleeding has momentarily stopped today....which is the first time in 2 weeks. Hopefully it will not return
