I meant a plot twist with an exciting ending but happy ending without the excitement would work too. Come fill us in...

Your impatient stalker

First and most importantly... let me say how very much all of your thoughts, love and hugs means to me.

I cannot imagine what it would be like going through this alone, but because of all of you, I don't have to.

All of your caring and attention brings tears to my eyes.

Ok... I�ve gotten my emotions under better control now and I�m slowly returning to my normal analytical problem solving self. DH stayed home a while with me this morning after he found out. Somehow he actually had me smiling and laughing a bit by the time he left. I sooo love that man.

So I spent some time looking over my chart. I looked to see if maybe CD 12 was actually O day. I am convinced that it wasn�t. I just think that when you look at the chart, the 2 distinct halves of the chart are clear and the dividing line is at CD 15. AF was not due for 4 more days.

So that means that I had a Luteal Phase Defect (LPD), which is defined as any LP shorter than 10 days, 12 days by some doctors standards. If you conceive and have an LPD, you will have an early miscarriage.

I�ve learned that the number one reason for LPD is low progesterone levels and that your doctor can do a progesterone test at 7 DPO to determine exactly how deficient you are. So I�m starting to wonder if there is any correlation at all between the facts that progesterone levels are tested on the exact CD that I had a temp drop. My temp shot right back up the next day which led me to believe it could�ve been an Implantation Dip, but then the 2 day nosedive began.

I didn't think my progesterone levels were a problem really. In TCOYF the low progesterone chart showed that the temps wouldn't stay above the Cover line. My temps always stay above my Cover Line, so I thought they were fine. Perhaps that was an incorrect or hasty assumption on my part.

I�ve already been taking 100 mg B6 every day as that�s supposed to help with your LP� I�m thinking of upping the dosage, since you can take up to 200 mg per day safely. Now I�m pondering Natural Progesterone cream from O day to AF. Danny thinks we should give it a try.

Neither of us have had any reason to go to the doctor since we�ve moved, so we don�t have a doctor yet. My GF recommended her doctor, who she says is FANTASTIC� but she�s got a 4 month wait for an appointment. SCREW THAT!! I�ll be ****** if I�m waiting another 4 months before I can right this ship. I�m far too impatient for that. I know myself too well.

So that�s where we are today. I guess I�m off to try to find some accounts of ladies who are using/have used Natural Progesterone cream. I�d like to find out how they went about it, how it�s gone for them, etc. Any and ALL information will be helpful at this point as this is truly new territory for me.

(((((((((((HUGS))))))))) I have progesterone issues myself. Although, I am not totally sure about it. My charts don't really show a LPD but my doc started prescribing it after my history and I am too nervous to not take it during pregnancy now. I had two miscarriages and an ectopic before I had Jeremy. They gave me progesterone and I had my four moos after that. I think it wouldn't hurt to give the natural cream a try. I haven't used it myself but I don't see the harm in trying it.
