@sslm awwww! thanks for looking all the way back to 2012 for your chart! haha

What a pretty chart! I hope that I'll have good news tomorrow and that my temps go back up. So weird how it has plummeted this cycle.

awww @Marym! Thanks for thinking of me! That is possible... I do sleep instantly while on progesterone!

My temp did go back up to 98 this morning, but I woke up at 2 am to go to the bathroom and felt like I didn't completely fall back asleep between then and 6 am when I normally temp. Hopefully tomorrow will be another high temp though.

We went to a fertility specialist today and I told him I was still spotting 75% of the month (there is only 1 week after ovulation that I don't spot within a cycle) with oral progesterone and he told me to stop taking it. He didn't even ask what dose or route I was on. He just said that if it's not helping then to stop taking it, so I may stop today even though I am 8 dpo. I was kind of bummed... I was hoping progesterone would be our answer... How are things going for you?

Did you also temp this cycle? I've heard that you can have 2 LH surges, so I usually wait until FF confirms ovulation after 3 high temps.

My OPK usually goes + 2-3 days before I get a Peak reading on my CBFM. I forgot that I wanted to test my OPK again when my CBFM peaked to see if it would go + again for a second surge. I'll try to remember next cycle!

This is my 2nd cycle on progesterone. I'm taking 200 mg orally, so I was surprised he didn't suggest increasing the dose or changing it to vaginal (which honestly I wouldn't be excited about though lol). We're starting all over and will be doing day 3 labs and ultrasound and day 15 HSG next cycle.

I've only completed 1 month on progesterone, but during that month it didn't really affect my temps (i.e., give me higher temps).

Even with your low P, did FF give you crosshairs the other months you have temped? I think I would skip the next dose until it's confirmed. You definitely don't want to take progesterone before ovulation otherwise you could end up preventing it. When my ob/gyn prescribed me progesterone, I was 7 dpo and she told me that it was still ok for me to start later. Because you don't want to accidentally prevent ovulation, I think later is better than earlier! I hope your temps keep going up and that you get crosshairs soon!
