I do NOT have low progesterone. My doctor was an idiot and the supplements she gave me actually worked as a CONTRACEPTIVE =O Anger doesn't begin to describe how I feel about her.
Thank God I put my big girl panties on and signed up for an appointment with an RE in September. THANK GOD. At our first meeting, we whipped out the ultrasound machine and discovered that my right ovary was covered in Endometriosis and my left ovary was covered in cysts. Double whammy. PCOS and Endometriosis. I was put on Metformin when we discovered my blood sugar was ridiculously high for a month. A month later we took my blood sugar again and it was at a normal level and thus safe for me to schedule a laproscopy for Endometriosis removal.

Surgery Day
Also our 4 year anniversary :)
Everything went really well and we discovered one of my ovaries was stuck to the side of my pelvis so that was fixed. Endo was removed from right ovary along with my endo removed from my right broad ligament. Also we discovered my pelvis was filled with adhesions from when my appendix was removed 23 years ago.
My first two cycles after surgery, my luteal phase was only 8 days long. My most recent one was 16 days long. However, I've got symptoms of the endo returning (pain, large blood clots, etc.) and I'm awaiting to hear back from my RE about what comes next.
Anyways, that's the full update, I hope to do a better job from here on out!
