I definitely agree that you should be monitoring your ovulation using your temps, mucus, or ovulation kits. I will help you know what’s going on. Also, I know that I don't ovulate so I have to have progesterone supplement to help me start my period. This is because when the egg is released, progesterone is also released. The progesterone then helps the uterine lining to thicken so that a baby can attach to it if you conceive. If not, the lining is shed and that is your period. If you didn't ovulate, then that definitely could be why you didn't start your period and why your progesterone is low. Also, don't think this happened to you but just for your info, when you do get pregnant, your body may not produce enough progesterone. It needs to be monitored because if your progesterone is to low it can cause a miscarriage during the first trimester. Don't be a afraid of this or stress over it, the doctor can just supplement you with progesterone. So I would monitor your cycle and see if you do ovulate and have them check your progesterone level on 7 days after ovulation. If it is low, your doctor will hopefully start to monitor it closely and treat it properly...goodluck!
