Finally, at peace for a little

My ob/gyn called me last week to talk about my test results because he knew that I wasn't happy with my 7.3 progesterone level at 7dpo. At least he returns my calls, my RE doesn't.
He told me that all he was really looking for was a positive number and that upping my clomid does was going to make my body reverse the progress it had made with ovulating. Fine, I guess I'm at peace with this.
What' I'm not at peace with is the fact that my RE and RE nurse never return my phone calls. I wanted to call and check if it would suppress my endo to go on BCP's for a little before January's IVF. Well, thank goodness my ob/gyn cares enough to call. He doesn't know why they had suggested BCP's for me at all with the severity of my endo. It wouldn't do me any good. I told him that Adam and I decided to take a break for this cycle. We defiantly aren't preventing, but I'm not going on the Clomid again. I can't take another cycle of it. I want a drug free cycle before IVF.
The doc thinks it's a good idea. I was stressed to the max last month with the clomid. I felt naseaus and crampy and bloated and moody. Never again.
I feel better, physically this cycle. I don't feel like puking and I don't feel bloated. I do still feel moody, but what's an infertile to do?

7.3

That number is my progesterone level WITH meds. I ovulated a little. I apparently have not been ovulating off meds for the past 5 months.... wish the RE had cared enough to do extensive testing on me to see if I HAD been ovulating, so that I wouldn't have the heartache adam and I do right now for coming off lupron. Lupron, the drug that had been suppressing my endo up until I went off it 8 months ago, then had testing done and everything was AOK. They told me that I didn't need a p4 test seeing as though I had my period and it's "very rare" that you get your period and aren't ovulating. Guess the fertility specialist and her useless nurse have no idea what they are talking about.
I called the RE today and never got an answer back....why does that not surprise me. They always act so put out every time I call. Hopefully my ob/gyn will call back and tell me what he thinks I should do next cycle.
I just want to be pregnant.... I never thought it would be this hard.
