Going to scream

I got an email this morning with results, and this is part of it:


"Your progesterone was only 0.4, so no signs of an ovulation. We can do one of two things: 1. Start Provera bring on another period and then restart drug at the next highest dose for the final cycle. 2. If you think you were starting to ovulate or something then recheck progesterone next week and then if nothing, go ahead with provera. Dr L said best to not wait and just start the provera and move to next highest dose."

So nothing happened!!!!! I know it's a little early since it was only day 21. But, I felt the most of the pains and thought if something happened, that it was last Thursday. I do not have the usual symptoms of the progesterone increase. Usually for me, when I ovulate, that ovary does not have as many of the PCOS cysts. Yesterday both had over 20. The left they weren't able to get a real measurement on the largest to see for sure, and it was questionable if that was the one. They said based on my cramping if it did happen, it could be possible it was that one. The right was only at 10 in measurements, and I don't feel anything more on that side. So I'm thinking we're really out again this month. The lining supposedly looked good, but seeing as the progesterone is low, and I have thick lining again, it's not good. I probably need a full provera cycle to get things going. Last month I only did a few days because of the spotting. And the period was different. I honestly don't know what to think at this point. The lining part with my history makes me think that we're out.
I wasn't expecting a low number. This completely sucks. I will get this last round and then it's all over, and I'm not sure I feel like trying anything more on our own. Maybe I'll give the herbal route a try.

  1. Well Hell! That sucks! And it's worse because you were totally setup for a fall with a seemingly good u/s the other day.

    Can I recommend prometrium to you? It's more expensive, but you have trouble with the provera, and if you do ovulate late or something, prometrium won't harm the embryo (which is worth it for the peace of mind IMO). I just wonder if it won't help 'reset' you more effectively than provera.

  2. I just emailed to ask if I can give that a try instead of provera. Even if I have to pay, I would rather avoid a week of headaches!
