I recently switched to a new gyn after having several rude encounters with my previous doctor's nurses, (that's a whole other story), and I saw him the first time last month just to ask questions, get to know him, etc. I took my chart with me and showed it to him and even though it looked crazy (it was my first month charting) he said he thought I may have low progesterone looking at the slow temp rise I had after ovulation, but he didn't want to say too much then, b/c it was just my first month charting. So, he told me to look for it next month and if the slow rise was there again he would do testing to see if my progesterone was low, b/c it's a pretty easy thing to fix. Well it had a similar slow rise this last cycle, so I called the office and got a call back today and I'm gonna get my estrogen and progesterone tested this cycle! He also said at the end of the summer, Aug/Sept, he'd look into more testing of me and DH if we haven't gotten pg on our own by then. I looooove him!! I have heard so many stories on here of doctors who won't do anything for people trying for way longer than me or having multiple losses and I just have to say that I am so grateful my doctor is willing to look into things after only 6 months of trying. It's such a relief!! Sorry for the rambling I just wanted to share my story. Thanks!

That's great! Let me know your levels because I'm still concerned about my progesterone even though my Dr doesn't seem to be!
