Hi.I'm responding to your post on 2000 - what the hormones levels say is more important than the temperature readings, so, though it's discouraging that it didn't work this time, it's a good start. Some people now are given totally controlled cycles, with just the right amount of estrogen and progesterone given to them each day. You know you have to have good levels of progesterone in the second half of your cycle in order to maintain a fertilized ovum. The fact that you had a short cycle may mean that the progesterone didn't rise enough after ovulation. That is the most common reason for difficulty in getting pregnant when you are a bit older. There's a LOT more things they can do to help you, and I hope you will keep us informed. I had one baby in my 20's, and another at age 47- just to encourage you.
