I am so confused and going in and out of crying spells. I am hoping one of you can elaborate for me.
Not so short summary -
Hubby and I have been TTC for some time now. After not having my period for a few months post birth control pill, I decided it was a good idea to see an ob/gyn. My ob/gyn was suspect of PCOS and wanted to do an ultrasound (and blood work) at a later appt but in the meantime prescribed me the wonderful Prometrium (haaaate that med!!!!!) to induce AF. I promptly started the med as directed and scheduled my ultrasound around the time of completing the Prometrium. Timeline: finished 10 day cycle of 200mg on Tuesday April 17th.
Wednesday April 18th morning temp 97.0 (which is normal for me).
Timeline : Thursday April 19th (morning temp shot up 1 whole degree! Morning temp was 98.0!)- I stroll into her office and get the ultrasound done ---here is where it gets confusing----- which shows I have a 20mm follicle in my left ovary!! Blood was concentrated on flowing to this bad boy and she let us hear it!!!! The tech stated that it looks like I should be ovulating any time and that we should be BDing every day for the next few days. Discussing the further with my actual ob/gyn, we confirmed the size and the ovulating hypothesis.... She stated that my blood work came back normal and that she would surmise that I just have a bad case of the post pill amenorrhea. She said that a mature follicle releases the egg at about 20-24mm so I could be ovulating any day! I was delighted to hear this! She asked me where I was with my Prometrium and I told her I had just finished it. She didn't elaborate on what that could potentially do at this point and sent me out the door smiling thinking I was Miss Fertile.
Morning temp Friday April 20th - 97.9 -still elevated.
Timeline : April 21st - (morning temp plummeted... 96.9 ...lowest reading i have ever seen).While using the little girls room mid-afternoon, I notice brown spotting in my underwear. I thought maybe it is that ovulation bleeding since there was a little CM mixed in (very small amount), so, of course, this furthers my excitement. I carry on with my evening and have a 3 margaritas to celebrate belated birthday with friends... I use the restroom again and there is more blood this time. This time... I can see it in my undies and in the toilet...notice cramping too.
Timeline: This morning - I use the restroom....and there is still blood. It isn't heavy but isnt spotty either. I am having to wear a tampon.
My question..... What the heck is going on?!?!!?? Did my mature follicle completely disappear? Is it possible for it to just stay put and not actually ovulate? Could it be possible that i am ovulating still or is this Prometrium winning the battle here?!?! I am so confused on what is happening because I was just told by a professional that I should be ovulating and now it would seem like I might have jumped straight to my period!?!?! What about the temp readings?! Anyone have anything similar to this?!
Thank you so much in advance.
Emotional train wreck here!
