I am taking progesterone 200mg vaginally at bedtime once I confirm O, then testing at 14DPO. If negative, I stop the progesterone, and AF came a few days later. The tough thing is that even if that is the issue, it might take a few months to work. TTC is so frustrating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfp-with-progesterone#post-1637279 Thu, 15 May 2014 15:48:30 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1637279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: is bring it up. It's a definite possibility. My re told me (because I asked the same thing) that if ovulation were strong enough and my other hormones (cd 3) we're where they needed to be, that P would straighten itself out during the LP. So, he explained it as an issue with O rather than just a P issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfp-with-progesterone#post-1636808 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:45:18 +0000 LAZB 1636808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried one or two months taking progesterone to lengthen my luteal phase (I ovulate on my own), but it didn't really work. The first time I took Clomid to give me stronger ovulation coupled with progesterone after ovulation I got my BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfp-with-progesterone#post-1636771 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:37:13 +0000 Snowdrop 1636771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: yes, the numbers were great.</p> <p>@CupQuakeWalk: My LP is 12 days but my progesterone levels are very low all the way through it. So my endometrium isn't lutenising as it should causing me to have 5-7 days of brown spotting after AF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfp-with-progesterone#post-1636202 Thu, 15 May 2014 11:47:21 +0000 charmed 1636202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started taking progesterone for a short LP (7-9 days), and got my BFP the same month (first bfp too).<br /> For me, I think it did help b/c I didn't get a positive test until 11DPO, where normally I would have started my period before then. But I can't say for certain progesterone was the only reason that was my lucky month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfp-with-progesterone#post-1636149 Thu, 15 May 2014 11:35:53 +0000 LovelyPlum 1636149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think it is possible that low P could be an issue! I know NaPro is big on watching P levels, and I definitely think that p supplements helped me to stay pregnant once I got my bfp. Not sure about getting a bfp in the first place, but it seems reasonable, if there are no other issues to deal with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfp-with-progesterone#post-1636123 Thu, 15 May 2014 11:31:46 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1636123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: how long is your LP? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfp-with-progesterone#post-1635927 Thu, 15 May 2014 10:46:19 +0000 swedishfish 1635927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has your husband been tested? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfp-with-progesterone#post-1635470 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:51:04 +0000 Snowdrop 1635470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone had success just by taking progesterone in their LP without ever having a BFP before.</p> <p>I've been thinking, since I definitely ovulate maybe the egg is being fertilised but not getting the chance to implant due to a hostile, low progesterone environment... </p>
