Personally, I think it's a good sign.

Good luck!

I had mine done yesterday and they said it was above 20. I didn't get an exact number though. She said that anything from 10-20 idicates that ovulation did occur.

Are you on progesterone?

Shanna,

I am not on progesterone. Are you? The only thing I took this IUI cycles was Clomid on days 5-9.

Looks like we go in the same date for our blood work. I will be praying for a big fat positive for all of us!!!
