[indian_mommy]

I ovulated this month..but I suspect that I might be suffering from a progesterone imbalance..I ovulated two days ago..and I was going to see a Gynec tomorrow..can they actually prescribe progesterone thsi time..will it make a difference?

Um I am not sure if this will help at all. But I had IVF and was on progesterone until I was 12 weeks pregnant.

I didn't want to throw away my meds so I offered them to a women who needed them, her dr gave her the ok and she is now 6 weeks pregnant and plans to take the progesterone till 14 weeks.

SO if the question is, will it hurt a pregnancy? No it won't. But I would still ask your OB

IF you have a progesterone problem, yes it can make a difference.

Some women do not get prescribed it until after pregnancy is confirmed (I nearly was at 8 weeks because my progesterone tested at 7.6 but my doctor trusted my body... and my next check was well within normal range)

I know a number of people that have used progesterone. Out of these women that I can think of, some were told to use it when TTC and they started immediately after O. Others waited until O was confirmed by charting via BBT, so, waited until 3DPO...others waited until they received a positive pregnancy test.

I guess it's hard to say 100% if this made a difference, but in these 3 situations, I know happy, healthy babies that came from it as a result!

With my last pregnancy, I was using progesterone cream to TTC with the advice of my MD. Later my midwife had me taking progesterone orally through my whole pregnancy.
