TTC #1 After An Early MC Buddies Needed - Page 15

Hope1409 · Feb 27th, 2012, 22:34 PM

hi girls, i am having one heck of a day. so last week i went in for my day21 tests and i called the docs office today for the results and of course he wasnt in. the nurse went over the results briefly in saying "good news is that your thyroid levels are fine and ok....but your progesterone is only 5.1 which means you didn't have a strong ovulation. above 14 is where we like to see it." my confusion comes in here: the cd 21 test is for those who have normal 28 day cycles and who ovulate on the 14th day. i ovulated 2 days later so why would my doc still have me take it on day 21 knowing my cycles range 31-42 days. ughhhh sorry for the rant, i just dont know what to do

Thanks for the link cancerlib. I feel like they did test me too early but?? Last month I was under so much stress that I ovulated 4 days after my LH surge, so I'm almost certain I ovulated on or after the 16th even though my surge was on the 14th. I'm giving the doctor until late afternoon to call me otherwise I am going to stalk that office for answers!

Sorry about your bfn, you are definitely not out until af shows. Stay hopeful!!

Sorry af got you cancerlib! i think mine is just around the corner too, ive been cramping all day today. an update on my lab results, the doc called me today and said he would put me on low dosage of clomid and i would get re-tested to see if clomid is helping. he says i do ovulate, but every month is different and because i have had irregular cycles for the past 2 years, he feels the low dose might help. im a little scared to take it but at the same time i am glad i got some answers and i am hoping i wont have to take it for long. maybe i will get my belated bday gift in march with a bfp

i know nothing about clomid so now i have to spend my hours googling everything i can lol.

Thanx Hopeful. I am pretty regular and i O every month,if O pains and temp shift is anything to go by.
I thought of using Clomid after my MC but several people kicked against it that its not for people who are regular. Maybe i should talk to my doc about trying it this month to boost egg quality.
'Nyways keep me updated.

Sorry to hear that! I got similar news at the doctor yesterday, still no AF after my mc in January and when the doctor did an ultrasound he said my endometrial lining shows I haven't o'd. It also looks like i have PCOS. So he put me on Prometrium to induce a period and then he wants me to take Clomid. I don't know much about it either, but from what I've been able to find it seems like a fairly mild drug and doesn't have too bad of side effects.

yeah i am going to use opk...as of right now i am 6 days after my D&C (had early mc) and i must still have hcg levels in my system so i do not think opks are reliable right now as my pregnancy test still say pregnant; which is hard to stomach everytime i see it. (i also keep getting smiley faces) i heard of people getting pregnant 2 weeks or months after a M&C but that has to be with hcg levels below 5 right?

the day of the D&C, i was so out of it, i didnt ask any questions to my doctor!
