My progesterone level this cycle was 0.6. You read that correctly: I went down from 10.7 last cycle to 0.6 this cycle. Which means I did not ovulate. Not even close. Which means my body did not respond to the meds and this cycle is over - it was over just about the time it started. Can't get pregnant without an egg being released, folks. Nature's funny that way.
I can't even begin to tell you how angry and upset I am. I don't think those words are sufficient enough to describe the frustration and defeat I feel. I got the call at 3:55pm this afternoon, so I had to sit at work in my cubicle, shaking and fighting back the urge to scream and sob for 65 minutes.
What's next? I have no clue. Why did my body not respond to the meds this month? Beats me. We have so many questions. If the doc wants to increase my dosage, my concern is that my heart palpitations will be more than I can handle. If he wants to try another med, we're out of oral options, which leaves us with injections and they are $1000 a pop, and you have to be closely monitored which means 2-3 ultrasounds (translation: $$) a week. And if we're doing all of that and spending all of that money, it would be in our best interest to do IUI - and we can't afford that. So, any way you slice it, we're looking at some unappealing options.
Stick a fork in me, I'm done.
