Patient's question:
On the fourth day of the menstrual cycle, I had the six sex hormone tests. Except for progesterone being 0.18, which is relatively low, the rest are within the normal range. The three thyroid function tests are also normal.Doctor's answer:
This is your progesterone level during your menstrual period, which does not reflect luteal function after ovulation, so a low level does not indicate anything. I don't know if your menstrual cycle is normal, if you have a history of induced abortion or pelvic inflammatory disease/surgery. If you do, I recommend getting a hysterosalpingogram (done between days 2-7 after your period ends, with no sexual activity since the start of your period). The male partner should also have a repeat semen analysis. After completing these tests, you should visit the infertility clinic.
