TTC using clomid and progesterone

[Scarlet84]

Hi all! This is my first post but I have been stalking this site looking for answers. My DH and I have been TTC for about a year without success. I went off birth control about two years ago to "get it out of my system" before TTC. When I began spotting in between cycles I figured it was just my body adjusting since I had been on BC for almost 10 years. This has continued and I had a day 23 progesterone test done because my doctor suspected it was low. It came back at 9.05, but she couldn't tell me much about whether that meant I was ovulating or not. To be honest, she didn't seem very interested in the numbers or know what they meant. She also didn't want to look at my temp charts that I've been keeping the past few months. She prescribed clomid 50mg on cycle days 3-7, progesterone following O for 20 days, and a vaginal suppository called Vagifem for 20 days following O. Has anyone else been in this same boat? I tried researching Vagifem, but I couldn't find much about it and I don't like taking things if I don't even know what they are! My doctor told me that if I'm not pregnant in three months they would check to see if my tubes are blocked. Why are they not doing this before medicating me? I'm so confused! According to my charts I do think I'm ovulating, but I'm guessing its weak and that is what is causing the low progesterone. Anyone else dealing with something like this?

Hi Scarlet. I'm worried about my progesterone levels. Had day 21 progesterone blood test last month and gp said it was borderline so got another one booked in for next month to see if there is any difference. We've been ttc for 10 months. Starting to feel like it's never going to happen Were you prescribed Clomid straight away? xx
