Sorry for the late response. I do monitor my ovulation very closely. I was on day 15 when the cramping started. I got the cramps really bad and within an hour I started my cycle. Very strange for me. This isn't usually how I react to the Prometrium. You were right on when you guessed 14-16 days. Does this mean that I am ovulating early or missing it all together. This whole thing is very confusing. I usually start counting from the first day of my cycle. Am I doing this wrong? My last cycle was back in August. They make me wait 35 days before they will let me take the Prometruim. I then take it for ten days and I usually start the day of the last pill or a couple of days later. I usually don't experience bad cramps with the Prometrium. This time I did. Maybe the Glucophage is actually working??? Thank You for your responses. This is all new to me. I was just trying to have a baby. I didn't know it was going to be so difficult.
