Progesterone level = pregnancy?

Hi,
Just a little background - I conceived my 1st son after 5 rounds of Clomid and the last cycle including Prometrium. We are TTC again and I finished my 1st round of Clomid and then did Prometrium (100 mg vaginally) starting on Day 16. I O'd on Day 14. I got a HSG test done on Day 9 which showed no blockage (thank goodness). We also did the Post Coital test on Day 15 and there were thriving swimmers! So, all looked good for this cycle. I then got a bunch of blood work done on Day 21. The only result they gave me was my progesterone - 22.8. So, the nurse confirmed that I ovulated, but would not indicate if I was pregnant.

So, my question to you ladies is: Has anybody gotten a progesterone level of 22.8 (or around this) on Day 21 and NOT be pregnant?

I have taken 3 HPT and all were negative. The latest one I took was this morning (Day 25) which was negative. They have been Dollar Store brand, but I have read these are just as reliable. I figure if I still haven't gotten my period on Monday (Day 28) I'll go buy a "real" test. The Dollar Store brand should detect a level of 20 and according to my calculations with my 1st pregnancy, I would be at 20 on Monday. So, I'm still hopeful, right?!

So, another question: has anybody gotten a positive test from Dollar Store BEFORE their period was supposed to start?

TIA
Kim
