Could it be a LPD??

I am looking for any advice regarding my issue. I have been TTC since September 2007. I went off the pill in August 2007. I was successful in getting pregnant in October 2007, but miscarried right away at 5 weeks. I then waiting until I got my period on 12/22 and found myself bleeding/spotting 1/9 - 1/17 (still not sure why). I went to see the dr. on 1/23....I was 4 wks. pregnant! She then sent me for HCG & Progesterone tests. The Progesterone test was very low and the hcg were not going up...I finally ended up miscarrying on 2/17 (I chose to wait and let it happen naturally). After that I was sent for genetic tests...everything normal. I did take a Progesterone 21 test on 4/15. Not normal. It was .4 and I was told that it should be 10. My dr. thought that I might have a luteal phase defect and that I was ovulating too late. Could this be possible? My March cycle was 36 days...i just got my period yesterday and this has never hapened before. I am used to having regular 28 day cycles on the pill and never got to know what my cycle was not on the pill because I kept getting pregnant and miscarrying. My dr. wants to give me clomid, but I decided to wait once more month and see what would my period do this month. I also have an appt. with another dr. set for 5/16. I am very upset because I am delaying TTC again, but I'm not sure if I trust my dr. based on 1 progesterone test...could it just be that that period was thrown off because of my previous miscarriage? What would you do...any advice is greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the long post.
