I have an app with the endo on June 7th..do you think it could wait untill then? I am very early.. still only 11 DPO.. otherwise the secretary said I can go to the emergency clinic at my clinic and they could prescribe the blood tests there. Just such a hassle for no reason, my doctor could have done it easily.

If u know ur temp after ovulation, u can just temp until endo appointment.
That will ease ur mind if ur temp stays high then progesterone is good.

Hi ladies, just caught up on reading previous posts. I take vitamin D3 at 5,000 and sometimes in the winter bumped up.
May-if you are worried about it your doctor should definitely check progesterone levels I don't see why they wouldn't. I've never had any issues with progesterone in either of my pregnancies, but I know that it definitely can be an issue with the PCOS and I don't understand why you'd need to go to ER to have it checked.

Thats how I feel? why not check it.. it doesnt affect my doctor, she doesnt pay for it.. its so simple. I have had issues with my luteal phase, mid cycle bleeding and low temps after O.. all signs of low progesterone from what ive read.. I had a miscarriage 7 months ago (2nd miscarriage) and I just dont want to go through this again. Ill just go to the emergency clinic and waste hours of my time just to get a prescription for a blood test. :/
Golden, Ive been checking my bbt here and there but I dont want to follow it simply because the least amount of stress right now the better..I know if I see it go down a little I will just stress even more. Its around 98-98.50 right now.. but it goes up and down between those 2 so it always freaks me out

That's true, plus u do hav low progesterone symptoms so just go to walk in clinic and get it done. It's worth wasting time for.
Btw for those who are temping, I was temping vaginally but it annoys DH so I wanna temp orally but I sleep my mouth open sometimes. So what should I do?

I agree with the others. I guess if he is refusing it is probably worth going to the ER.
Golden- tell dh to bug off.
Oh in all seriousness though mouth breathing is pretty much the only thing that significantly impacts my temps. Evening waking constantly or to early or late doesn't impact it that much. Also, vaginal temping is suppose to be the best.

Just left the doctors office, my LH:FSH went to 2:1 from 5:1 which is awesome because 1:1 is healthy. So he said I don't need clomid n would get pregnant in two months but I insisted n got clomid for 6 months

So this month I'm gonna do 50mg Clomid 4-8, metformin 2000, D3 4000
Hopefully gonna start temping tonight.
Since af came at night time, my doc said That I'm technically cd3 today and it's better to start earlier than 5-9 since I got 28days cycles.
Next month he want me to do 2-6.

Golden yay for clmoid and great results, it's exciting! Great he listened and let you have some. I did cd2-6 too. I'd recommend taking it before bed to lessen any side effects you may get.
May55 do you think using natural progesterone cream in the meantime may help ease your worries? I'm using it for my 2ww because I think my progesterone is low. It's so annoying when the doctors won't listen to us. We obviously know out bodies better than anyone and they should try us when we have concerns. It's ridiculous!

Thanks girls, I spent hour to get five pills! So ridiculous.
I went to pharmacy and they only gave me four tablet because Doctor wrote cd2-5 by accident so they had to call and get that changed. Doctor and pharmacist were confused about days and the amount of pill! Seriously how did they graduate school
Anyway as finally got it figured out, and my insurance didn't cover it so paid $42 Canadian dollars for 5 tablets. It's worth every penny when I get my bun but still not sure why my insurance didn't cover it. At least it covers metformin.
I also got an other issue I told the doctor that I changed my dose to 2000 metformin but he didn't say anything, he said 3-4 pills don't matter.
So my next appointment is August 17 and I got 320 tablets of metformin left. If I take 4 a day then I won't have enuf until August 17, should I go back to 3?

I posted a few pages back about starting metformin. My DH and I have been doing a bit of googling and reading here and it seems Clomid is thought to be more effective. I get a temp rise each month and my cycles are fairly regular (30-35 days). Anyone know why Metformin would have been given to me not Clomid? Thanks

They usually try to balance hormone with metformin and see if you get pregnant, if not then they use clomid. My cycles are regular and I would get temp shift every month but due to hormonal imbalance, my doctor thought I wasn't producing healthy eggs. So now that my hormones are almost balanced by metformin, he wanted to wait an other two months with metformin to see if I start producing good quality eggs and get pregnant.
However I'm too impatient and begged him for clomid. So don't worry, metformin is great. It takes 3-6 months to balance hormones. But different for everyone. May55 got pregnant on 3rd month for metformin without clomid.
