Low Post-Ovulatory Temps - Can they indicate a progesterone problem?From: anonymous@obgyn.netTue, 30 Apr 2002 09:14:05 -0500 (CDT)
I've been using FAM/charting for the last 4 1/2 years for both birth control and pregnancy achievement. Delivered/lost a 21 weeker in early March due to incompetent cervix. My first menstrual cycle arrived 5 weeks later & I started charting then to get a grip on how my cycle was recovering. Had a heavier-than-normal period, & ovulated on CD14 (by all indications related to temps, CM, and physical symptoms, which have always been very clear for me). Since then, my post-ov. temps have been much lower than what is normal for me, although remaining consistently above the coverline. Over the past 4 1/2 years, my post-O temps have *always* been above 98.5, but are now hovering in the 97.9/8 range (pre-O temps stayed in the 97.2/3 range, which is also low for me). We're not ready to try again just yet, but can anyone tell me if low post-O temps could indicate a problem such as low progesterone? Or could this change simplly be related to my cycle still in the process of returning to normal? Could any facet of childbirth trigger a sudden subsequent progesterone deficiency or, if that turns out to be the case, would it just be a fluke? I know that these post-O temps can be normal for some, but they're quite a drastic change for me. Thanks for any insight...I have enough to worry about on the baby front now with the IC diagnosis when we do decide to try again, and didn't want to waste any time stressing over another potential problem needlessly!
