TTC Girl, ovulating today, need help!

[atomic sagebrush]

Oh ok I was going off your notes on the chart and there was one last attempt which I think was well timed!

Yes do keep going with e4d just in case.

Good job keeping the doctors on their toes! I swear if we don't advocate for ourselves they will never do anything. Good luck and pink dust headed your way!

Thanks Atomic! I didn't get a call about my results so I'll just wait to hear back from them on Monday. But at least with the progesterone test, if it comes back with low numbers my doc should know that I need suppositories or not. And I'll also be able to know if I'm ovulating or not, and if I am, then he may even be able to tell if I'm having a strong o or weak o. I had a change in temps... It's downward now... but I had insomnia last night so that may have thrown it off. Hopefully it was just a fluke reading which threw the other temps out of whack. Thanks for keeping in touch with me!

Well, temps are super low now... kinda expecting AF any day now. I haven't heard about my progesterone results yet but I have a followup doc appt on Wednesday. I'll call today to see if my results are in. Any suggestions, atomic?

Just heard back from my doctors office... When i asked about my results my doctor's personal nurse said, "upon getting your results Dr. Williams said that unfortunately did not ovulate this cycle. your progesterone level was at a 3.34.... and we like to see them at a 10." so she told me that we would go over our next plan of action on Wednesday. Any ideas what he might do? He told me that he only prescribes clomid 100mg for 3 cycles and then refers out to a RE. Do you think i need an increase yet again? or progesterone supplements? I'm sooo lost

Wow, I know how disappointing it is to not ovulate. I'm sorry you have to go through this.

I wanted to say something about your situation - I'm not a doctor, but I don't think you should do another round at 100 mg if you did 100 mg and it didn't make you ovulate. I think it is a waste, and that you either need to try 150 mg or try a different treatment such as Femara or Clomid + injectibles.

Please don't let this get you down, but you might also want to call an RE for an appointment now. From what I've heard, it usually takes a few months to get an appointment, and if you get pregnant before then you can just cancel.

Best luck to you.

Agh that's just what I was about to say looking at your chart - that I wasn't too sure you did ovulate now looking at your temps. You very well may still O so keep having attempts. I know it feels like you're out right now, but you absolutely CAN and 90% likely WILL still ovulate and the egg will be viable (don't believe the scary stuff you read some places on line, that has been debunked and discredited). I suspect that you are going to get another surge and you'll O at that time and it may be any time now.

Since you didn't ovulate yet, that temp very well may mean NOT AF, but that your estrogen is rising and you're going to surge and ovulate fairly soon. So I would resume OPK, and/or be doing e4d attempts to try and catch the egg.

Thanks atomic. I still haven't had AF arrive yet. My sex drive is like no where so I have to just make myself get in the mood. So you think there is still a chance ill ovulate this cycle? Im currently on CD27. Still in the waiting room for my appt. I will update you as soon as I speak to my doc. Thanks for the input!! Xoxo!

Heres what all went on yesterday: My doc (obgyn) immediately came into my exam room saw down and said, "well, based on your progesterone levels, I don't believe you ovulated this month... and since we are doing everything we possibly can here, I'm going to go ahead and refer you out to a reproductive endocrinologist for further testing to determine what's going on here". I prepared myself with all my charts and a list of things I wanted to bring up about hashimotos and testing my thyroid. So I said responded to his statement with, "well, let's take a look at my charts. 1st round was perfect- I ovulated, and it was a "normal" cycle. Onto the 2nd round- 17 days long and progesterone dominance during estrogen stage which would say I have low estrogen, onto 3rd round--20 days long again with progesterone dominance during estrogen stage, now this 4th cycle-- I have no idea what is going on- although with my progesterone test it came back very low so we know that progesterone isn't dominating anymore". And he nodded his head the entire time. I then asked if he could do a complete thyroid panel on me to test my T3 and T4 levels with my TSH again.... and he told me that my TSH was. 66 back in August and that it was all within normal range. THEN I said, likely those have changed bc levels change monthly, and when I was researching thyroid facts, doctors like to see it at a 2.5 or more! Mine is at .66!!! I told him how I really feel that something else is the underlining cause and that's why the Clomid isn't working. I told him that I'm always tired, cold, I have irregular periods, thinning hair, foggy brain, a range of emotions, and that something else is surely going on. He told me that he's still going to refer me bc although he can check all of that, that it's out of his offices realm... and that they don't have the equipment to check what they need to-- like follicular checks, and people to do trigger shots, but that the RE will be able to do all of that... He said he doesn't want to continue doing something that isn't working. So I'm glad he recognized my concerns and was honest about what his practice cannot do or check. He wasn't going to give me anymore Clomid but I almost started crying... My eyes teared up and I said can you please consider giving me another round of Clomid until I can get into Magees in April bc I don't want to waste any more time. And he agreed. Thank God! Yesterday was rough... I'm still adjusting to the fact that I have to go to the next step. I'm terrified of getting in the position of only having IVF as our only and last option bc insurance doesn't cover it.... it's sooooo expensive. My husband is trying to convince me that this next step is really good, and that we will get more answers but I just feel so broken!

I had called a RE last month when I was having anovulatory cycles and I set up a new consult appt and they were already booking in April... My appt is set for April 12th, but my doc office is going to call them today (yesterday my appt ran late and the office they needed to call was already closed) so hopefully they'll be able to get me in sooner. 🤞🤞 I would like them to keep trying Clomid and a trigger shot to see if that'll help. I can't help but get a little excited about the possibility of twins on Clomid, so femara would be my last choice (if I was given one).
