What is happening to me?!
Hello! I've been TTC since May 2018. I'm 35 with no biological children, and I've never been pregnant. I have regular cycles, and I get positive OPKs. Last year in September, I had a blood test done to check my progesterone levels; it came back at 16 which my doctor said meant I was ovulating. The last few months, I've been spotting a week before my periods, and today was no exception. Like clockwork, I woke up today spotting to the point of needing a pad. I'm on CD 21. I did get a positive OPK this month, I even bought the Ava bracelet. I also had another blood progesterone test today, and my results came back at 0.3..... That's the normal level for the follicur phase, I'm well below ovulation levels. I don't know why I got a positive OPK if I'm not ovulating. I've had an HSG done, I take care of myself, even my DH is on Clomid to help me get pregnant because his SA came back with low motility. I don't understand what's happening in my own body, and I just want to be done. Please tell me I'm not alone?!

A friend of mine recently had the same issues and went to her GP - had the day 21 Progesterone test and they said she was fine, she then went on to have 4 miscarriages before they reconsidered and that her Progesterone was actually on the very low side, although ovulating it's not enough to maintain a pregnancy...referred to the fertility clinic, load of tests, came back mild PCOS and low Progesterone. She now takes a Progesterone supplement after ovulation, no spotting and is 9 weeks pregnant.
