So, I decided that since I took the last of my blood tests last week, it would be a safe bet that I could call and get some of the results from them. So I called, and had to wait for a call back from the nurse. She finally called and told me that the last time I took my progesterone test it was a 0.8, and this time it was a little bit higher, but still low, at 1.5. Now, I dont really know what normal levels are, but I heard it was somewhere between 8-10, and thats just me remembering badly something I read a while ago. Anyone have any knowledge on that area? The other two hormones they tested me for on the 3rd she said were elevated.

I had my doctors appointment a few days ago, and the doctor I saw was really great and informative. He did say that by looking at me, he didnt think that I had PCOS, but that we'd do a complete workup just to make sure everything was alright. So my homework was: a bloodtest at day 3 of my cycle to check two hormone levels (dont remember which ones), a blood test at day 22 of my cycle for progesterone, take ovulation tests for two months, and then meet again...
