I am really frustrated and kind of sad. I am in the two of our second cycle ttc but I am thinking we are up a creek. Last month I started with a two day headache mid luteal phase and then started spotting at 8 dpo. I am 7 dpo and am on the second day of a major headache again. It looks like a drop in progesterone is a common cause of these two symptoms.

Before starting to try I was on Mirena, I stopped in August and waited for a full period (not just breakthrough bleeding) before officially trying. When I had it removed I asked something about how long I should try before coming back because I have had various gynecological issues before and she said six months. Now week I feel like that is an eternity when things aren't going the way they are supposed to.

Had anyone else dealt with headaches and low progesterone? Assuming this cycle goes the way I am expecting would you call anyway? Try OTC progesterone? Just hope things work out?

Thanks, I am really struggling with this so an outside perspective would be invaluable.
