So last dr appt we went in and the RE gave me a shot of progesterone in the butt as well as switched me to Metformin extended release. Put the hubs on 2000 mg a day of Vitamin C and 1000 mg a day of L-Arganine. She is giving me AF and then I start bc until the beginning of July. Once I have a for sure date for DH to get home from Colorado I switch from bc to Clomid and we make appt for mid July to do 1st IUI.....hoping it works! We only have July and August to do IUI and then he deploys the 1st of September for 8 months and we'll have to wait!

A lot of times for women who have issues ovulating the bcp can help the body regulate itself hormone wise and then when you go off of it your body will hopefully be more likely to O. Especially since you're going to do IUI, they probably want you to do the bcp so there's no waiting around for AF when it comes time to do the IUI cycle. I'm guessing he gave you the progesterone to induce AF, Do you normally have pretty long cycles?

My RE put me on bcp before my IVF cycle for a couple weeks to get my cycle in sync with when they wanted to start the IVF cycle. So that could be another reason.

My guess would be it's probably a combination of those things though. KUP with how it goes!!

I havn't been on bcp for 5 years or so but I have heard that being put back on bcp will sort of 'jump start' your body to start ovulation correctly again. So maybe this will help you!! I sure hope it does!
