Thank you Dr. Essien. I did have one additional question. I have
ruled out pregnancy with a home pregnancy test, but regarding the
possibility of not enough progesterone. Would this still be suspect
even though my BBT chart shows a very distinct high temp (~98.0)during
my luteal phase (14 days)compared to the temperatures prior to
ovulation?
