I had a level of 4. In the meantime I did some research and talked to my NP and we agreed I would try using the bio identical progesterone. We had tried to get pregnant for over a year and after 4 months on the arm cream we were pregnant. We were not looking foward to the expense of fertility treatment. The cream cost about $35 a month and does the same thing as the clomid. My understanding is they give you clomid to produce more which in turn produces more progesterone. I encourage people to talk to their MD's and do some research and see if it could work for you as well. : )miskamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684138024434926506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-82407509150609317122008-06-08T16:47:00.000-04:002008-06-08T16:47:00.000-04:00Thank you!

I had endometritis, was given progesterone tablets to give me back my period. Then had cysts removed from my uterus. I've had obnoctiously long cycles(31-35 days from bleed to bleed, with spotting tossed in for good measure). <BR/><BR/>My bbt temps are also low and almost unmoving when i chart. (i realy am a cold-blooded....)<BR/>How do we fix it, is estrogen domonance only cured by weight loss and if so how much will i have to shed to get pregnant. I've been on WW for a year now and i've bee gaining ad loosing the same 7.5 lbs now for a year. I'm stumped How to the MD's dx progesterone defficiency is the BBT the only way?<BR/>Also will having a low progesterone level skew the urine test kits for the ovulation monitors?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-88203769763537126232008-01-22T19:35:00.000-05:002008-01-22T19:35:00.000-05:00Was given progesterone to start my mentrual period...Was given progesterone to start my mentrual period, but nothing has happened.

I seem to have about a 13 day luteal phase although some months my temps don't clearly show an ovulation. I'm not sure if this is related though to the fact that I don't sleep well though, I wake up a lot. Also, I have tried several different opks and can usually only get Answer brand and my CBFM to work for me. Any input would be appreciated.
