Last month I had a day 21 progesterone level done and it was at 106 nmol/L and was flagged as high. The report shows a mid-luteal range to be at 14 to 89. My clinic definitely said I ovulated but what does the high level indicate? Anybody have their levels on CD21 to compare?

Thanks for the info tmr1234. I converted the nmol/L to ng/ml and it converts to 33.33 ng/ml. I guess still a bit high but not crazy high. Does anyone know what an elevated level means?
