Anyone chart BBT while taking progesterone?
Hi all, first month temping and curious about any experience with others who temp and take progesterone supplements.
My doc has me on progesterone bc of a history of miscarriages and a suspected short luteal phase. After four losses in a row I finally conceived my first born in 2018, the very first cycle I did OPKs and started progesterone. She is now 15 months and I am on cycle two of TTC baby #2.
I’m supposed to start the progesterone the day after I ovulate per opk - so basically 2 days after the day the opk is first positive. I am worried about not ovulating even though I’m getting my period (my age, still nursing a bit, etc), so I want to temp too.
But I’m wondering if the progesterone will mess with the numbers, since I think progesterone is what makes your bbt rise after ovulation? So maybe I need to wait at least four days after the day my opk test is positive, to make sure any rise in temp on the chart is natural and not inflated by the progesterone supplements.
Anyone have experience with this?
