Thanks Jodi ..... Usually I can feel myself ovulate (mittel-whatever) but since I've been on the pill that has diminished. My periods were always like clockwork except they were long and heavy but always regular. I agree maybe we should have a separate category! But the way I figure if I was on day 19 then I was in luteal and everything is in normal ranges (even my LH and FSH) so what about the ratio?? I cant's remember how much to what is abnormal.. BUT my progesterone is way too low for that phase and I was told that when your progesterone drops, you bleed. I get 2 periods like clockwork and it's not from ovulating (since I don't ovulate) but since I've been on the pill the second bleed is always at the same time of month, right around day 15. HOWEVER this month I made it til day 24 so who knows. Maybe something's working. As far as what's next...I'm starting on my 4th month of Glucophage and my second month on a new pill (I've tried them all it seems like) so now I wait. I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago but lived in denial til this summer.The best thing is that my DHEAS was extremely high at one point (634) and that's returned to normal (even though it too is on the high-normal end). I'm thinking it will just take time for my body to adjust and to let the Gluc do it's stuff. Thanks so much for responding...I really appreciate it! --Jenn

"phase" was I in if it was day 19 for me when the blood was drawn? What do you guys think of all my "normal" results?: FSH 1.5 LH 5.9 Test 73 (wish this would come down even though it is normal) Progesterone 0.9 (Could this low # be why I bleed twice a cycle?) > >None of these were flagged as abnormal but they do seem to lean to the
