On January 22, 2008, I had my followup appointment with the RE to discuss my blood work and possible treatment options. I brought along my BBT chart and blood work from my primary care physician which recently indicated that I had hypothyroidism and a month later with medication, it has been regulated. I pointed out to her that two days after my blood pregnancy test that my BBT chart indicated a thermal shift which might mean that I finally ovulated. She looked at my chart and then proceeded to do an ultrasound. Two large follicles could be seen on the screen and she said that it did indeed appear that I had ovulated this month! Unfortunately, I think we missed our window of opportunity because we did not have sex on the day before, day of, or day after ovulation, therefore, I'm pretty sure that our chances of conceiving were greatly decreased.

The RE advised that she would not be prescribing me Progesterone because IF I did ovulate, that would only delay my period. She said to give it another week or so and one of two things should happen: 1) I will become pregnant OR 2) my period will finally start. I'm expecting the latter to occur.

In an unrelated matter, I had to see my primary care physician today because it seems that I have come down with the dreaded FLU!! How did this happen??? I feel miserable. I have been running fever over 101*F since last night. I am on three medications for my flu symptoms. Tonight I started getting some minor cramps in my lower abdomin, but I only felt them maybe three times. I don't know if they were caused by the medication I started taking this afternoon or if they could possibly be early PMS cramps. The last one occurred three hours ago and other than the body aches, everything is so far, so good.

I guess I'm back to square 1. I'll update this if any further information developes.

I haven't had a period since November 11, 2007. I have been charting my BBT & CM all this time. I have also been using a saliva ovulation monitor which has only been showing partial ferning on and off for the last three or so weeks. For the last three+ weeks I have had EWCM. It appears that my body has been trying to gear up for ovulation but according to my BBT, that has not occurred yet.

I called the RE last Friday and explained that I have not had a period since 11/11/07 and therefore, have not been able to get the blood work done which is to be done on cycle day 3. I wondered if I should just hang tight and wait. The nurse said NO, that that is way too long and she ordered some blood work and a blood pregnancy test. I did that on Monday morning and she called me with the results today. The nurse said that my pregnancy test was negative (I already knew that) and that my Estradiol level is 90 and my Progesterone is 1. . She said that the doctor wanted me to come in to discuss possible treatments. I have an appointment for next Tuesday afternoon.

That is where I stand right now. I'll will update this after I see the RE next week. Anyone reading this, please keep your fingers crossed for me. Thanks.
