Brief Answer:
Chances of pregnancy in this cycle are very low.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The progesterone levels are low and are not suggestive of pregnancy. If you are having PMS then chances are that your periods will start in next few days.
If your egg quality is good and at your age it is best to opt for in vitro fertilisation. This will increase your chances of an early conception and you can have a healthy baby at your age.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
