Ttc, normal hormone levels but no period, ovulation iffy, please help!?!

Ttc, normal hormone levels but no period, ovulation iffy, please help!?

i've been ttc for 6 months now, haven't had a period since March 1. went off the pill at beg. of the year.

i'm not pregnant, i went to my regular doctor & had blood tests, they showed all my hormones are normal (and thyroid, blood sugar, they did the works and all was fine)

i've been referred to an ob/gyn but the appt is still 3 wks away...

i've been charting, and i MAY have ovulated either 10 or 18 days ago... my temp 'range' shifted, but it's erratic. cm points to possible ovulation 18 days ago... IF it occurred...

anyone know what the problem might be?
what's the next step in tests after the hormone/thyroid/etc tests?
what might the ob/gyn do to help me? will they just give me provera?

thanks

I am so sorry you are having issues.... :(

I was told my hormones were normal from THREE different blood tests and doctors. And I felt like I was dying....something was wrong. I knew it was hormone related so I started to chart...woww...you can tell a lot from that!!

Fast forward to doctor number 14 and 2.5 years.later...my progesterone was flatlined. Finally a doctor who knew something. I got diagnosed with PCOS, insulin resistance and severe hormone imbalance....My cycles are normal again and ovulation is around the corner. AND...for the first time in 8 years...I have a NORMAL temperature!!!

NO ob-gyn had a CLUE how to treat a hormone imbalance. Three of them said...when you get pregnant, call us...we'll put you on progesterone then. Now...the morons...how can I get pregnant if I am not ovulating and I am not ovulating because my body stopped making progesterone which causes it in the first place!!! EEKKKK!!!!

Luckily, I found a ND, I take natural bio identical hormones. And we're finally making progress and undoing all the crap that the MDs got me in to. The synthetic hormones a MD will give you have side effects and can give you other health issues down the line...so be careful....we've learned that firsthand with my mom. My doc is www.hotzehwc.com.

You may have PCOS. (www.soulcysters.net) What is your next step with tests??? All I can say is...NEVER GIVE UP...read and research and learn about as much as you can for youself. Just because someone has a medical degree, it doesn't mean they know everything...sure, they know more...they just dont' know it all...so trust your gut and intuition.

And if you're ttc, there are all sorts of herbs/vitamins you can take to get it along... before I went to the ND, I had a reproductive endo put us on this.... http://www.fertilityblend1.com/index.htm... can get it online or at GNC...read the success stories...people get pregnant with this! :)


GOOD LUCK!
