Progesterone Supplements + Ovulation

Becca

Hi glow community,

Over the past 2 years I’ve had two miscarriages (blighted ovum) and a chemical, and am now on progesterone - my doctor has me starting the progesterone on the 14th day of each cycle, once daily (orally) and i am supposed to stop the progesterone once i get my period or continue taking if i find myself pregnant.

Today i just got my period, so of course I’m feeling a little discouraged. My question for anyone who has taken progesterone to get pregnant - what time frames were you taking it? I have seen a few people comment that progesterone shouldn’t be taken before ovulation, but i believe the 14th day of my cycle is just before I’m ovulating so I’m worried it may be throwing things off? Or my info is completely wrong?

Before my chemical last year, i had been using the test strips to track my ovulation. We decided to wait a few months before we started trying again, and this last cycle when we decided to try again, i decided not to track my ovulation (after everything we’ve been through, i wanted to try and actually have fun this cycle and not get too into my own Head) but will begin <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android">tracking ovulation</a> again this cycle.

So as i prepare for that and another round of progesterone, i just wanted to see if any of ya’ll have any experience with the progesterone/how you were instructed to take it?

Thanks in advance!
