It was like i might have wrote this question. My progesterone was .3 and i was put on suppliments for 7 years. i finally went to a specialist and she was very upset i was on a suppliment because Progesterone can "fool" your body that you have ovulated so i was having periods and even cramps but not ovulating. I went for an IUI on Clomid and then found out my husbands counts were now low - they weren't low before. So, i think if they get you ovulating on Clomid or another drug you will be okay. They RE will go over all of that with you - your problem will probably be easily solved! At Fri, 29 Nov 2002, dawn wrote: >
