8.4

That's what my progesterone level was today. I'm not hopeful. I'm actually having a really bad time with this news. I've had enough u/s in the past 4 years to know that the lining wasn't good today. It's getting thick again. She didn't seem to hopeful today when they did the exam, to the point of sending me home with provera and enough meds to up the dose next round. I have 28 of the PCOS cysts on the left ovary, and no ovulation signs on that one. Right ovary had 24 of those annoying cysts, and only one that was over 10 indicating some sort of response. Because it was small, they aren't sure if maybe I was gearing up and it stopped growing, or if it was about to happen, or if it happened already and the lining is just thicker because of progesterone. Then we got the results and they are saying it within their ovulation scale, but kinda low. In the past I've always been told for a medicated cycle, it should be more like greater than 10, but better to be over 15. So, I'm not hopeful. I missed the call and she called me on her way home, after they closed, so I have to wait till tomorrow to find out what is going on for sure. It's day 22. I don't feel anything really. I'm tired and exhausted and just sick of the constant disappointment every time I let myself get hopeful. But, I'll stick with it.....Because I have to. Or I'll be more crazy. We were told to "cover tonight and tomorrow" just in case this is something gearing up. I'm going to bed early for our homework, and then hopefully sleep off all this disappointment and make tomorrow be a better day.

  1. From what I've read, with a progesterone level that high you won't ovulate (progesterone inhibits ovulation) but you probably did already anyhow. did they not see a corpus luteum on there? I bet mean old AF will come on her own and you won't need the provera. 8.4 isn't stellar, but it's probably enough to skip the provera. And my clinic will tell you that you ovulated with a P4 of 2 or greater. I always want to punch someone when they say that to me.

    But if they told you to BD I'd still do it. Can't hurt.
