No ovulation??????? Low progesterone?

[rflower]

I had a blood test last week to check my progesterone levels. I am on hCG (which is supposed to raise progesterone) and had not been feeling well. I have had low progesterone in the past and this is how I felt before they found the low progesterone. I got the results back and the progesterone was low..."inconsistent with ovulation". The nurse told me I did not ovulate this month. Has this happened to anyone else? What are some options?

I have low progestrone, its not really low, but 2 months ago was a 6.4, and last month was a 9. Doctor considered 10 above is ovulation. So next cycle i'll be put on clomid to help. Do you kow what your levels are?

IDk my levels now. I was caught off guard with the phone call today and forgot to ask. I was told that 13 was the low "normal" average. I have tested anywhere from .2 before I went on progesterone suppositories/creams/shots to 16 while on therapy. I will find out tom what the level was.

My doctor put me on Clomid to help me with ovualtion. Before I would only ovualte twice or so every year.

Can you still have a period without having ovulated?

 

[jeoestreich]

I did. But I would go months without having one. The last long period was from September to March.

I have also had blood tests which showed I am not ovulating. AF every month which I dont understand TBH. Started using Agnus Castus and EPO as I heard these can help with OV.

Starflower oil is very good too, I tried Agnus Castus but it made me very ill.
So not fair to have AF regularly and not OV every month

Hmm well i have another condition which apparently can be caused by hhigh oestrogen. Does high oestrogen equal low progesterone? Is this mayb why i have no bfp yet....

I found out today that my progesterone was .5 which is how my ob could tell I did not ovulate. I will be starting chlomid, vitamin b6 and mucinex. I have had low progesterone before and taken/used progesterone cremes, suppositories, and injections. I have been on hCG for 2 cycles. My OB said the hCG will help my body produce progesterone, as long as I have ovulated.
