@sugaarplum- slowrise?

@texas- do you have a pic? Being a $1 test it's hard to tell. I've gotten shadow lines on them before and it was a false pos. but i've also seen them turn into a positive over a couple days.

i just got my progesterone test back and i want to bawl. it was only 8.9. ugh why is this so hard for my body

i guess 8.9 means i did not ovulate and i am out

Anything over 5 shows you ovulated! But it does sound like you need a progesterone supplement to support a possible pregnancy. I'd call your dr back and demand to have progesterone for the rest of this cycle just in case :)

AND, even though it looks like you ovulated, just in case you didnt, having the progesterone in your body for at least a week and then stopping it if no pregnancy, will bring on next AF so you can get to next cycle quicker.

Dont lose hope just yet. I've known girls on here who got bfps with progesterone of 7 and progesterone supplements kept the baby safe inside til it's due date.

@Waiting, my blood work come back with a reserve of 15.

@Texas, chin up butter up! Infertility sucks!

@Plum, I would say you ovulated when the chart shows it. I always get two days of +OPKs and some months a dramatic rise and some a low rise.

Ok to add insult to this scrappy day. I started my 100 of progesterone, now I have diarrhea, and broke out on my face. The cramps have stooped, but now I feel like someone punched me in the pelvis. Grrrrrrr

@texas- I'm imagining a fist flying out of the pill bottle and beating you up lol...at least that's how you describe the side effects. It'll pass, your body will get used to it :). I feel you on the acne! If you have some vicks vapor rub, dab a little on your zits before bed. It dries them out and soothes the pain.

@waitingonmymiracle, lolol I am preparing my fit as I type lolol. Today is the last possible day of my longest cycle in the last 13 months, I did test yesterday and still . I am waiting for tomorrow to see if AF stays away. I have had cramping for a week now, nausea, dull headaches (which is not normal for me), acne (which is not normal either for me) and extreme extreme fatigue. This morning though so far just the fatigue and nausea seems to hanging on, no cramps and no headache, hoping acne leaves too lolol. Going to test tomorrow morning so will keep updating lol.
