What is a good estrogen level for implantation? In a natural menstrual cycle, serum estrogen levels reach 200-300 pg/mL just before ovulation
If a fertilized egg implants, progesterone then helps the uterine lining
Traditionally, it was believed that your progesterone levels should be tested on Day 21 of your cycle

The genomic actions of progesterone are mediated by the classical nuclear progesterone receptors, PR-A and PR-B
Aimee Eyvazzadeh, agrees that, “a level of progesterone above 10 ng/ml is ideal to support a healthy pregnancy
