~Envirobecca, how are you doing? Have you gotten your results back yet?

[EnviroBecca]

RESULTS: My system has hung. Midwife compared it to a skipping record; I think of it as more like the computer freezing up so that the only thing to do is reboot. I'm not surprised by this at all. Estrogen is up, LH is way way up, but progesterone is down. My body is trying to O and not making it. Why? Wrong signals or signals not getting thru from the hypothalamus, probably. Same old story.

Re: the progesterone I took 3 weeks ago, it probably weakened after a year of sitting around and therefore wasn't enough. The plan is to try that again.

However, on Monday I have a consultation w/acupuncturist. This is partly about my fertility and partly about my killer headaches. Better not to be on any meds when he evaluates me, I figured. Also, I'll ask whether it's best to go ahead w/prog. or to have some acupuncture first. Having had a little bleeding, there's no rush to make it happen again.

I don't know.... I feel acupuncture is worth a try while I'm waiting to get thru a whole year of trying (that'll be in August) but it's hard to believe it'll work. Mainly, I feel like this is just not going to work until one of those rare months when I happen to O, and there's no telling how long that will take.

~Envirobecca hugs to you.s
August will also be a year of TTC for us. I think acupuncture sounds like a good idea. I would do it before starting a new round of progesterone JMO. Glad you had some tests done, so what can they do for wrong signals or signals not getting through?: At least you do O on occassion, its better than never O'ing at all. And when you do O, what was it that made the signals right or get through?

AF has finally arrived! It took progesterone to get her to come over, but she's here!
Didn't think she would come so soon. Last time it was 8 days after the last pill when she came, today is the second day after the last pill.
I start on clomid this cycle,wish me luck. Just really excited to start over fresh.
(((((AF vibes for those still waiting)))))

NotAMamaYet and Lucina3, I'm glad you are started on a new cycle! (I have this mental picture of you riding off on bicycles. Shiny red ones. )

I'm still waiting. I'm on Day 6 of my 10 days of progesterone. See "Just when I thought I was safe from obsessing..." for more details.
