So I finally met with a new doctor on Sept 7th. My appointment was for 2:45pm and I wasn't called to the back till 4pm!!!! That's rignt... I waited for over an hour!!!!! I was able to watch the full hour of "The Ellen Degeneres Show" ... Love her.....at least I was able to watch the 1300th episode of Ellen It made the waiting time bearable.
I had the usual weigh in and blood pressure taken and then waited for another 20 min in the exam room....
The nurse asked me if I had any records that I took from my previous doctor's office and I said no because I figured that they would have done that. Well don't you know....the Doctor came in to see me with no records of my past history. I had a feeling that something like that would have happened so before I came in for the appointment I printed out my BBT charts from the past few months and created a timeline of my cycles and the miscarriage (I know.. what a nerd right?) He said based on what I provided it seems as though I have a luteal phase defect causing the anovulatroy cycles. He said that he won't know for sure till he receives all of the records from my previous doctors. As for my miscarriage he said that I might have needed some assistance with the use of progesterone suppository but again he needed to see my past records.
All I provided were the HCG levels not thinking that the progesterone levels were of any importance. So ladies ask for both when you get your bloodwork during the phases of your present/ future pregnancies....
When I asked if the light spotting at CD44 (which lasted for 12 days) was the start of a new cycle he said no assertively saying that it's the remnants remaining in the lining of the uterus.
He suggested that I start of with Provera to jump start my cycle and then 150mg of clomid to jump start ovulation again.
There was no physical exams taken so I hope that is normal for a first Doctor visit.
Fingers crossed for me!

I can't believe you had to wait so long!! That is ridiculous!! At least you got to see Ellen though...that's a great show to help distract you and bring humor into a stressful situation! She's amazing!

It's a good thing you brought in your charts so that he had something to look at. Hopefully they'll get your past records soon and things will be even clearer for him. Good luck with bringing on AF and getting a fresh cycle started! I hope it happens soon! As for the Clomid, I took it this cycle and ovulated earlier than usual so I hope the same goes for you! Keep us posted!!
