High Progesterone

So I went in to get my progesterone checked today. I was doing three a day of the old, gelcap, messy vaginal suppositories (no one ever said making a baby was a fun time .... wait ... anyway) but only doing one per day of the new tablet vaginal suppositories because it was new. I was sure, sure, sure they would say to at least up it to 2. My progesterone levels always come back as point something, like .7 or such, super low. I kept waiting and waiting for a call. (Btw if they change your meds or anything of note, they usually call you back, if it's just results, they call and leave a message on your voicemail, but it's voicemail you call in to if that makes sense). No call.

Urgh doctor's office - don't make me move to Ohio. So I called my voicemail and lo and behold, a message! My progesterone was 41 so no need to change my meds. (My insulin was fine too, so I'm staying strong at 4 Metformin per day. This is a lot for someone who chokes at the THOUGHT of pill taking). Color me flabbergasted. Now I know my body isn't producing all this progesterone on its own, after all I'm still taking the medicine. But SOMETHING is going on and I'm going to assume it's positive until I am told otherwise. Pregnancy test at the doctor's office next Tuesday: the countdown begins. (Oh and meanwhile my inlaws and their entire family are coming for fake Christmas/New Years - OH JOY!)
