All Systems Go

Well, the results from the progesterone level test are in. First, let's recap:

* when the problem was diagnosed, Leah's level was .4
* last month, after 1st round of (50 mg) Clomid, her level was 9.3
* this month, after 2nd round of (100 mg) Clomid, her level was 24.4.

Basically, any level > 10 means that the body can conceive and support the pregnancy (it supports the implantation of the egg) until such time that the placenta takes over the production of it. Bottom line--you need it to get and stay pregnant. If at any time the levels begin dropping during pregnancy, this probaby indicates a problem.

Now all that's left is the science. We'll keep our fingers crossed. We've certainly come a long way from January's "Right now you have a 1% chance of getting pregnant."
