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

Question

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

Answer 1

The first thing they will probably do is a pelvic exam and pap to make sure everything is normal and then give you Provera to see if you have a withdrawl bleed. They will probably order a trans-vaginal ultrasound to check your ovaries and the lining of the uterus. Also, if you did ovulate 18 days ago then you would be getting a period if you are not pregnant. On average, after ovulation a woman's period should follow in about 14 days--anywhere from 10-16 but 14 is most common.
If you have a withdrawl bleed from the Provera and it doesn't kick start your cycles again then they will most likely give you Clomid to induce ovulation.
