Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi!

Thanks Madhu, Dinki and Sunshine for answering my queries. I am new to this and do not know the abbreviations for some terms here. Sunshine what do you mean by IC? Also, since I am on Clomid now, the doc has asked me to come in to take a progestrone? level. She said she needed to check if I ovulated. My question is - what is progestrone level and does any of you know what is the procedure when I do to the clinic for progestrone level?

Sorry for my ignorance,

Trust and hoping tht very soon u leave this board and r seen in due date board.

I am myself in this rut and am closely related to ttc (trying to conceive)board. But i try not to mingle around much frequently hence u wudnt hv seen my posts to u.

Ok as regards the meaning of IC, it means intercourse as far as my conscience goes.

U keep in touch and keep writing.

Bye and loads of baby dust to u me and all others.

Karishma Meena replied. Hi
IC is intercourse.
Don't worry. Things will work out for u. All the best! Madhu replied. Progesterone is a hormone which is produced after ovulation(release of the egg from the ovary). The level of progesterone increases after ovulation. As mentioned earlier it will be a blood test to know your progesterone level(one of the hormones). u just have to give a blood sample in the luteal phase (i.e days after ovulation ) which will reveal the level of progesterone in the blood and hence give some indication of ovulation.

So cheer up and go ahead with your blood test.
