Doh'

Ok so it hits me...after staring at my lovely charts and thinking about how much I hated those lovely pink candy looking prometrium pills. I've been spotting 6 days now. What can spotting before a period possibly mean? Hit my head moment and frantically google. I was right. Often it can mean low progesterone. Hello more problems. SO now, I have to call my dr and tell her that I've been spotting 6 days before start of period and ask if she thinks I could have a progesterone problem. Which seems highly possible due to the fact that both pregnancies had low progesterone issues. 9.7 when pregnant for first. Normal levels for nonpregnant women at 7dpo can go down to 8.8 at the lowest. I know I was 16 or 17 dpo with first test, but I was only .8 above the standard for a woman that WASN'T pregnant! Hello...issue here? *rolls eyes*

To be honest, I think she said that they don't give women prometrium unless pregnant. But what if I cannot sustain a pregnancy because of low progesterone? I might have to go to a RE (Reproductive Endocrinologist). Oh my goodness. Delirium and google does a woman good sometimes. Hopefully get to the bottom of this soon. I'm ready to have a baby!

Update: by progesterone problem, what I am saying is a Luteal Phase Defect. Caused by 1 of 3 things: poor follicle quality (poor egg production), premature failure of corpus luteum (helps to sustain a pregnancy by giving off gobs of progesterone), and lastly the Uterine lining sometimes doesn't respond. Due to the fact that I have PCOS the chance of the first 2 are quite high for me. This is due to my out of wack FSH hormones. Will update you on what Dr says...
