No I dont think it will cause you not to O. low progesterone causes miscarriage..Its not until AFTER O progesterone comes into play.
A lot of times when they draw blood they only check hcg so unless it is requested by your doctor progesterone levels arent really checked.
I hope they did check them for you tho so you'll know what caused your loss last time.

Hi everyone!!

Tinks and Tierney, thanks for the well wishes on Clomid. I really hope it's what my body needs to do it's thing! Tierney I just have to say I love your avatar and signature, everything matches so well!

Sweetmama, glad to hear you'll still be around on this thread!

Foxy, 12 dpo yeah! I see your temp is nice and high today, really hope it stays that way for oh, 9 mos or so Fingers crossed for you this cycle!! Glad to hear you liked the softcups! Oh and the extra amounts of creamy/water CM is an awesome sign.

Angel, I'm so sorry for your loss I would count your current bleeding as a period and let FF start a new cycle for you. The first cycle you may not ovulate and the temps could be all over the place, but things will eventually even out.

Nicole, I really hope this is your month and sorry to hear that outside factors may put a hold on ttc. If this isn't your month then I at least hope that you're able to take care of the other things as quickly and smoothly as possible so you can jump right back on that horse (or DH) Opps, just read that you no longer have to wait if this isn't your month, so glad things worked out!! That nausea sounds like a very good sign!! Can't wait to watch your chart over the next few days.

Shannon, did you and DH have a nice honeymoon in New York? How long did you try acupuncture? I've been doing acu and traditional Chinese herbs since mid January and really feel it's helped my body to get back to normal. My mid cycle spotting (pre and post ov) has stopped, creamy cm has returned and I just feel better in general. I know what acupuncturist you go to can make all the difference, I was lucky to find one that specializes in fertility problems so feel that they have the experience needed to help sort me out. With your cycles being so long I really wish you could find a doctor who would do a pregnancy blood test, then prescribe you Provera to bring on a period and possibly Clomid to induce ovulation. Many women are going this route (Fitzy on the TCM thread for one) and at the very least it gives you more of a chance to conceive since your cycles will be shorter. I know you have been through so much and it really sounds like you've called around and tried to get some help, but I would keep trying to find a specialist who will really work with you. I didn't receive the specialized attention I needed until we went to an actual fertility specialist. I thought I would need referrals and it would cost so much money, but even if I didn't have insurance the dr visits and ultrasounds really didn't add up to too much.

I'm on cd 12, stopped the Clomid on cd 9. So far don't feel any different. Started using my clear blue fertility monitor on cd 10 and so far have only received lows. Really curious to see when I ovulate this cycle. Have my scan scheduled for Monday (cd 15) to see how my body reacted to the Clomid.

Sorry I haven't been on here much. I wasn't able to get on for a few days due to work and then there were just so many pages to catch up on I felt overwhelmed!

Best of luck ladies at whatever point you're at in your cycle. Baby dust and sticky sticky glue!!

Thank you I hope its my month also..and if not the good news is we dont have to put ttc on hold now..woohoo..

Sweetmama I have a Nikon d40 srl I loveeee it...

 

[nikki-lou25]

I went to GP, I have tonillitis - great stuff! Just what I always wanted. Never had it before, never had antibiotics before now either...so for the 1st time in my life I'm on a course of antibiotics.

I had a chat with him about my cycle bein longer than it was prior to DD and that I was bein investigated for PCOS but nothing was ever concluded. He said lose weight basically and see what happens from there.

 

[Sweetmama26]

Good luck with the move Sweetmama and have fun with the new camera! I got a new pocket digital for Christmas and love it. We have a really nice Nikon DSLR but it's kind of big to lug around so the smaller one is perfect for everyday events.

Sweetmama I have a Nikon d40 srl I loveeee it...

I'm getting a Sony a330 with a lens kit because they are having a sale where if you get it you get the lens kit free which is AWESOME because they NEVER have deals like that, and it will really help with my photography

 

[ablacketer]

Bernina, thanks! We are NTNP until next cycle but Im still charting

Oh no sweetie! I used to get that a lot myself & its no fun!

Reading that angered me soooo much!!!!
It's not a simple as that when you have PCOS!!!! Grrrr
Might be time to find a new doctor who actually has a clue!
Personally, I've had to go through quit a few to find the right one(s).
Have they checked your thyroid lately? That can also effect sooo many
other things going on in the body. Have them do the saliva test too,
as it can show so much more than just the blood work.

Feel better hun!

 

[nikki-lou25]

My thyroid was checked in May 2008 so he said there's no need to check it again. I had CD3 bloods and because they were 'normal' they didn't want to do CD21 bloods! I had a scan back then and my ovaries did appear to have cysts, but he said that that alone doesn't diagnose PCOS and that once I've lost weight my ovulation may be earlier in a cycle and cycles shorter.

Also told me not to chart or do OPKs and have sex 3 times a week.

I'm over emotional these past few days and beginnin to get hungry...I apologise for my rant!

That is REDIC I would get a new GP if I was you. What an arse.

 

[nikki-lou25]

thanks ladies, at least I know I wasn't bein over emotional gettin annoyed about it. I've not been able to eat for days so though I may just have been over reacting!

I KNOW Im overweight you know? but even last time after the CD3 bloods they referred me off to weight watchers rather than keep investigating, luckily after 8 weeks at WW I fell pregnant. Still, that's given them reason to say "see you've been pg before you will do it again if you shed the kilos"

 

[calliebaby]

I was just wondering if you lovely ladies could peak at my chart and tell me what day you think I ovulated. FF first had me ovulating at cd17 and my coverline at 97.2. Today, it changed my ovulation day to cd18 and my coverline to 97.4. Any ideas as to why it did that?

 

[Koromaru]

Shannon, any luck with AF yet?

 

[ablacketer]

sweetmama, very interesting! I love stuff done at different angles than you would expect!

 

[shaerichelle]

No nothing.

Nikki.. Docs stink. It doesnt matter on weight it matters on how your body functions! Ugh.

 

[Sweetmama26]

sweetmama, very interesting! I love stuff done at different angles than you would expect!

Thanks I like to do unique and interesting things, I'm excited to be able to work with my new camera and get better, I know I'm not the best there is yet but I enjoy practicing and getting better,I can't wait to do unique things with my new camera
