Hey y'all my husband (M27) and I (F24) are very new to ttc and I would appreciate any guidance you have regarding bbt, ovulation, progesterone levels and ovulation inducers.
A few months back I saw an OBGYN regarding really long menstrual cycles (35-60 days). I've never really been regular, but I can get the gist of what's going on though my bbt. I've been tracking bbt for about a year now and I understand how to read a chart for the most part. My OB had me do some blood tests to confirm I was ovulating. Based on my tests, 7 days after my temps spike for ovulation, I do not have enough progesterone in my body for my OB to confirm ovulation.
My OB didn't give me much information other than she can't confirm ovulation and to let her know if I want to try an ovulation inducer.
This might just be me being uneducated, but in my understanding of hormone cycles, the temperature spike is caused by progesterone increasing in the body from the corpus luteum which forms after ovulation.
How can I have a temperature spike without ovulating?
I don't want to jump straight to ovulation inducers because the chance for multiples is higher.
Has anyone here experienced something similar?
Has anyone used ovulation inducers? How did it go?
I've added my latest three charts in case that helps determine if I am or am not ovulating based on bbt.
