I ladies. Looking for others experience. I started progesterone last November due to short lp (8-10 days) The longest it lengthened my lp was 14 days, last month. This cycle I did first round of clomid and trigger shot. According to ff and opk I am 21 dpo and had the trigger 21 days ago. Doctor said there was a good chance I o'ed before trigger but she wanted to do it to make sure all our bases were covered.
Still getting bfn. I have had one doctor tell me to take it until 14 dpo then stop if I got a bfn and another doctor tell me to continue it until bfp or AF. AF has ALWAYS shown up while on progesterone. My current doctor is the one that told me to stop taking it at 14 dpo so I know if I call her she will just tell me to stop taking it. I'm just worried that there is still a chance I am pregnant and stopping it could cause mc.
I have a ton of symptoms but I contribute them to progesterone, so taking them with a grain of salt. The only weird symptom was last week, woke up to a leaking boob. I haven't breastfed for over 2 years. She checked my prolactin and it was normal.
Anyone go through something similar? Or any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
 
I'm sure then progesterone is delaying af. You triggered 21 days ago which forces ovulation so you'd have a positive by now. If anything have your clinic run hcg lab.
Once you stop progesterone af should come in 4-5 days. Not sure about boob. I would the kind she checked prolactin she would have checked hcg?
 
I have taken 200 mg progesterone for 6 cycles now. I do not have a LP defect, but was put on it to counteract the clomid and to increase my lining. My OB/GYN started me on cd 14 and told me to stop when I got my period. (I always got my period approximately 14dpo while taking progesterone)
However, my fertility specialist told me that this was incorrect since starting progesterone too early can mess up hormone balance. RE has placed me on 100mg suppositories twice daily starting 3 days after IUI. I am supposed to take a pregnancy test in 2 weeks and then stop if it is negative.

Be careful taking progesterone because it makes your appetite increase. I wasn't told about this until I had already gained 5 pounds on it.

My advice would be to have a blood hCG test. You should have a value by now if you are truly pregnant. Good luck!
