Crap! I have a corpus luteum which is freaking new b/c it was not there before so I freaking ovulated! Lining is still "fine" according to nurse. They drew my estrogen and progesterone levels but I have a bad feeling. And we can't convert to a natural because they didn't catch the surge. I am so freaking upset. Imagine if I would not have known what to look for for ovulation. I would have ended up transferring to a screwed up uterus as it would have failed b/c they only do 1 ultrasound and that's it! If its canceled I am demanding to talk to my RE because this is ridiculous.
Mo - your cycle sounds like mine about 2 weeks ago. I was so upset! I walked in there and told my FS I am pretty sure I ovulated on Saturday, he looked at me funny and said why would I think that? I told him I had gobs of EWCM on Thurs and Fri and then had ovulation pains. So he starts the US and looks at my lining, and isn't happy, then looks at my right ovary and says its clear. I tell him, but the pain was on the left ovary, and sure enough he measures a corpus luteum!

He then looks concerned and orders a E2 and P4 test. So now I'm freaking, and thinking yep I ovulated and we'll have to start all over again

So I get the results back and my E2 was low only 34 or something but my P4 was 0.4 or 0.6 (below 1). So that meant I DID NOT OVULATE. So I'm sure you are in the same boat. It sure felt like it, and it sure looked like it but it wasn't. I was so surprised, and then


because I could keep going!!!
I wonder if it is possible that while on estrogen supplements we could get a follicle developing but without the egg?

So it pops due to the LH surge but that is all that happens? No true ovulation?

Either that or the corpus luteum was from an earlier cycle? IDK. But I was shocked and very happy when they said I could keep going.
FX'd that your situation is exactly the same, and you'll be just fine!!
