Default 98 days since d&c, took progesterone, then only had 1.5 days of spotting??

Hi ladies,

Here's my story!

Since getting off of the pill one year ago, I noticed I had very long cycles. I started charting and found that I was ovulating very late, day 30, day 40, etc. On my last ovulatory cycle I ovulated on day 58, AND by some miracle, we conceived a pregnancy!!! But, sadly, at an ultrasound when I was 11 weeks along, we found the baby had no heartbeat and was measuring only 7 weeks. I ended up getting a d&c because my body did not seem to want to pass the miscarriage naturally.

I had the D&C Jan 22, 2009. I continued to chart my temps and this time I just was NOT ovulating. I went in to the OB who ran blood work and found my LH:FSH ratio is 2:1 and told me that was an indicator of PCOS. Other than that I dont have many symptoms, my androgen and glucose bloodwork were both normal levels, and I am a healthy weight. I do have acne that's been going crazy lately though! The doctor prescribed me progesterone pills so I could end this very long cycle and move on to hopefully a new better one where maybe I will ovulate again.

I took a pill every day for 10 days and the last pill was taken on Friday, 5 days ago. On the Sunday I got some light spotting. I thought I was in for a DOOZY of a period! But nothing else happened. I had more light spotting on Monday for half the day and then everything stopped. I kept thinking maybe I would get some heavier flow starting but nothing did.

Is this normal? Is it normal to get only 1.5 days of very light spotting after progesterone and after going 98 days without a cycle? I am worried the d&c might have screwed me up worse than I already was....

Sorry for your loss.

I know that with D&C's the lining is scrapped and sometimes it takes awhile for the lining to rebuild back up. And the first AF after a m/c was always light for me, and I've never had a D&C. But I only waited until CD40 at the latest to take something to start it.

If you are concerned you could talk to your doctor about it. Possibly discuss testing your estrogen to see if it is low.
