Trying to conceive, long cycles and confused about BBT?

My husband and I have been trying to conceive. I have long cycles (50 day) so I have been on progesterone cream to try and regulate things. First month I used was 40 days, second was 22 days and now - after my husband and I did our best to conceive this month, I haven't seen a sign of a period, I feel preg but preg test is neg and I have a low BBT (not that it reached anywhere over 34.4 this month. Could I still be pregnant? Is the low BBT temp because I only take the cream on days 12-26, and could this be affecting my chances at falling? Also, does anyone know if the low BBT is connected to hypothyroidism? My Naturopath previously gave me stuff for my thyroid to help with hormone production? Can anyone help or give advice. It has been 6 months (I know its not too bad) but I really want a child so much.

1. Hypothryoidism is definitely linked to infertility, so if you have low thyroid, you should start treatment. It may be time to see a fertility specialist. They will look at your long cycles, and run tests to see about your long cycles. They can test your ovaries to see how well they're working, and they can also test the fallopian tubes to make sure they're clear. They'll also test your husband's sperm to make sure it's ok. Even if everything is fine, a fertility specialist can help track you and your cycles more carefully, so you will have a greated chance of getting pregnant with each cycle.
