Hopefully that surge will peak soon and you can move into the TWW. x </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1912674 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 11:55:31 +0000 MaryM 1912674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eko: Thank you for sharing that. That's awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1912608 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 11:30:57 +0000 Eko 1912608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: I had a couple cycles of doing a combination of clomid/progesterone and one of them was interfering with my implantation. I stopped clomid all together and actually waited about five days after I thought I O'd to start the progesterone. What do ya know, that cycle doing that I got my BFP and so far things are working out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1912551 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 11:03:45 +0000 MaryM 1912551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to update y'all and thank you for the input. I got another :happy: today...so I'm guessing it was good I didn't take the progesterone last night?</p> <p>Now if I can manage to stay awake until DH gets home from work tonight...maybe we'll have a shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1911558 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 19:03:24 +0000 MaryM 1911558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all. I think I've learned that I'll wait for crosshairs next month. I knew when she said to start 2dpo I'd end up confused!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1911554 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 19:01:19 +0000 jaguar 1911554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: I think if I were in your shoes, I'd pop to your GP and grab a blood test to check your levels. That would tell you what's going on, without relying on the sticks/temps, since they could potentially be throwing you off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1911553 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 19:00:22 +0000 Tidybee 1911553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would also suggest stopping it until you can confirm O. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1911552 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 19:00:09 +0000 jaguar 1911552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, I get nervous starting and stopping progesterone, as withdrawals can make your body go a little crazy -- although you haven't taken it for that long, so I guess you could be okay there.</p> <p>Sorry chick, hate that the bloody O sticks are messing you about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1911550 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 18:59:18 +0000 jaguar 1911550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: It's a possibility -- but it all depends on your body. The O sticks can stay dark for a few days - and the smilies are notoriously crap at the predicting.</p> <p>I guess my biggest concern would be that you've already taken some, so your temps may go higher/wonky based on that. Not sure if FF will even out, or give you accurate readings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1911549 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 18:58:28 +0000 LindsayInNY 1911549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What @Mrs.Someone: said. You didn't O the first time so I would stop the progesterone until you confirm O. I was always told to start it 3 days after O, once it was confirmed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1911547 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 18:56:00 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1911547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd definitely wait until O is confirmed, as progesterone can prevent ovulation. Starting a few days after O shouldn't make much of a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1911546 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 18:55:43 +0000 MaryM 1911546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jaguar: but if I'm about to O, wouldn't the progesterone inhibit it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1911540 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 18:50:11 +0000 jaguar 1911540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd continue, mainly because stopping and starting is had on your body. And being on progesterone is a help, not a hindrance - so it can't hurt if your body is a bit confused with O-time! x </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1911040 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 12:52:31 +0000 MaryM 1911040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>(bumping since the board seems busier than it was this morning) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1910652 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 10:01:37 +0000 LAZB 1910652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a tough one! I have no idea, but I probably would have come on here for advice too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-question-wwyd#post-1910622 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 09:42:50 +0000 MaryM 1910622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those that have used progesterone in their LP...help me figure this out. </p> <p>this is my first month supplementing this way (I've used P to induce a period before, but not to help my LP)</p> <p>I've been using CBE OPKs (not the advanced. just the circle or smiley kind)</p> <p>Saturday I got a positive, but I thought that was a little early. But based on cramping and the fact that my temps took a nosedive, I figured ok. I was lucky to catch an early O.</p> <p>Well, I've kept testing just because it's fun to pee on things. </p> <p>I started Progesterone last night thinking it was 2dpo. </p> <p>would you know it? this morning I got ANOTHER smiley. </p> <p>Would you continue to take the progesterone because you already started? If I AM in fact ovulating, would last night's dose keep that from happening?</p> <p>Or would you go ahead and wait a few days to see if you can confirm this O and then start it?</p> <p>I'm on the fence with worrying about taking it too late to do any good, or taking it too early and impacting a potential O. </p> <p>I've attached my chart in case that does any good. But the fact that I'm on P because my charts were wonky makes me not want to totally base my decision on temps, you know? </p> [attach=4748/14/nduovf.600x417.chartgraph_module.php.png]
