Provera Not Working - TTC Without a Period

[babymaking101]

I have had frequent, irregular periods for over two years and recently (4 months) my husband and I have been trying to conceive but have had no success although I have normal fsh and amh levels. Been tested for PCOS and had a number of ultrasounds. I have taken provera and now have been sent to an infertility specialist for further treatment.  

I've had a consultation with the REI specialist while I started my 3rd cycle of provera. He did a ultrasounds and saw that I had ovulated at some point between both cycles with no period so he told me to stop the provera and schedule an HSG test when I started my period. See below for a break down of my provera treatments.

I just talked to my new dr's nurse and it seems they may want to put me back on provera again. Does this make sense to do with my following experience?

Reason for starting provera: frequent, irregular periods
1st cycle: 10 days followed by a 2 day period
2nd cycle: 20 days followed by 23 days with no period
Ovulated sometime in between (verified by an ultrasound) but we don't know when.
3rd cycle: 5 days followed by 17 days with no period

My last ultrasound (Jan. 31st) showed I had ovulated and I had approx. 14 healthy-sized follicles in one ovary and 8 in the other.

Total of 62 days without a period! Yes, I have taken numerous pregnancy tests. The last, two days ago and all negative.

Again, the REI specialist suggested an HSG test after I started a period but have not been able to schedule one since I haven't had a period. My husband will be getting his sperm tested.

It's depressing that they can't seem to figure out what the problem is and why they may suggest provera again.

I have the following questions:
1. Anyone have everything I have and finally something worked? If so, what did?
2. Would clomid help even though I did ovulate without a period?
3. Why would provera be tried again?
4. What else can I get tested for?

I bought an ovulation kit today (20 sticks) and will start testing every day since I know I ovulated once within the last month. The doctor's seem to be testing and testing with no real conclusion.

Your welcome!  I have heard that prometrium is a better choice than provera & is has a higher chance of working.  I hope you get the answers from the doc you need,  good luck!

thanks JennyB0125 and Super_sally888 for your comments!

Super_sally888, metformin seems to be prescribed to women with PCOS, which I don't have. But l can see where you may be going with this and I'll be certain to bring up.

Also maybe ask to be given a trial of metformin.  It can be successful for some women.

Ask your doc to try prometruim instead of provera.
