Any Success With Progesterone Cream and BFP?

[PinkLuv24]

Hello!
Just wondering what your ladies experience has been with progesterone cream in helping the egg to stick upon implantation. I'm doing artificial insemination at home my next cycle and after a chemical pregnancy last month I want to do everything I can to make sure this baby survives! Thanks in advance for all the wonderful support!

Progesterone cream isn't strong enough to correct a deficiency. A lot of ladies use it, but if you have a progesterone problem you might be better seeing your dr and requesting suppositories.
It's one of those "might not help, but definitely won't hurt" type things. Sorry for your loss and I hope the next baby is super sticky!
Best of luck. We conceived through AI xxx

I didn't do AI but I took progesterone orally and it helped me carry a pregnancy to term.

How did you use it?

I'm going to ask my dr about it next week

I took it from my first positive OPK until 113 weeks.

Thanks! That's so encouraging! Can I ask how you did the timing from a + OPK (when did you inseminate) and how many vials/cycle and how long did it take you? I'm new to AI but I really want a baby asap! Lol thx

We inseminated once on first +opk day and once two days later (ovulation day for me). We used fresh sperm as using a known donor.

When we got pregnant last year (lost the baby unfortunately) it was one donation on second +opk day.

We did try for a long time, though (24 cycles), and I think it was clomid that got me pregnant in the end and progesterone suppositories that kept me pregnant
