Serum test vs. Mira PdG
Adding this here in case it’s helpful for anyone. I (34F) know a lot of us test with Mira everyday, and, perhaps because of that, put a lot of weight/thought into the hormone values. Sometimes it sends me into a bit of a rabbit hole. On the upside, it did encourage me to talk to my doctor and get a consult on ovulation (am I ovulating properly with sometimes no LH peaks and no confirmed ovulation bc not high enough?). I drink a TON of water bc we live in a tropical environment and work out everyday. Anyways, I think that was interfering with my #s because my serum PdG results just came back at 15.8 ng/mL and on that day I had the serum draw, Mira clocked it at 4.9 ug/mL (see images). In sum, my serum test showed my PdG levels confirmed ovulation. I think due to several factors, I may naturally show somewhat “lower-looking” PdG values on urine testing even when serum progesterone is actually solid. So maybe this is just a plug to get the serum test if you’re discouraged. Hope this is helpful for someone!
