Dr Jacobs,

I had my progesterone checked last month and it was 1.4, I was given Clomid this month and now it's 22 did it increase because I took the Clomid? I will be having an Endometrial Biopsy tomorrow will my RE be able to tell if I suffer from Luteal Phase Defect? with all the research I have done I believe I have had several m/cs due to low progesterone, if you can answer my questions I will greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance~~~Tiffany~~~

I do not prescribe Clomid, because it can actually impair fertility in women who are already ovulating. I stopped doing endometrial biopsies to doagnose a luteal phase defect about 5 years ago. There is too much variability of interpretation, even with the same person looking at the slide on multiple occasssions. I think it is just too crude to be reliable.
Good luck.
