Hi, I need help. I'm a month shy of 37 years old, my husband is 33 and we've been trying for baby #1 for close to 6 months now.  We both have been checked out and our hormones, blood work, husband's semen analysis, etc. are completely normal.

 

About 3 months ago, I started tracking my bbt and noticed what I believe could be a progesterone defect in my luteal phase.  I thought this could be why I'm having a such a hard time conceiving.  I mentioned this to my OBGYN, but she was reluctant to do something.  I found an online program, which I will not name, but is based off of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). I submit bbt/PMS/etc. data and the program's algorithm determines different herbal forumulasI would take during each phase of my cycle. I have the herbal formulations below for reference.

 

Normally, my cycles are normally 27-29 days and ovulation is around CD13-15. This month since being on the program I'm on CD39 and no sign of AF. I am absolutely not pregnant.  My bbts in the follicular/luteal phases are off, I had brownish discharge several days after my period & a progesterone blood test confirmed on CD19 that I did not ovulate.

 

I'm extremely concerned and don't know what to do. I don't want to take any more herbs since they messed up my period. What can I do to get my period back?  I have my last 3 months of bbts attached.  I'm currently in the Aug 29, 2016 cycle, which is severely messed up and my bbts are attached.  My most recent cycle is on the bottom.
