Radkat and Kalyrra, our posts must have crossed! I know your maternity leave sucks in the states, I think it's pretty disgusting! So good on you guys for breastfeeding for so long if you have to go back to work so soon 
Seattle, I don't know about Progesterone cream, maybe like Kalyrra suggested have a chat with your doc first, but from what I know most doctors will just tell you to stop bfing if you are TTC before they prescribe anything. But then that's in the UK, it may well be very different for you. How long is your LP? I am sure that you already know all of this but from what research I have done low Progesterone levels due to bfing are caused by an inadequate follicular stage where the corpus Luteum basically isn't of good enough quality to produce adequate progesterone. So another way of helping is to nourish those follicles! I know with me, my body is screaming to O at day 14 and 15, I have very obvious O signs in a lot of ways, but it's not happening until CD 17, so by the time the egg gets released it's like it's gone bad with a pretty crappy corpus Luteum
however I do know that there is a pregnant girl on b&b who is on progesterone and bfing, but I think she had a progesterone deficiency before. Decisions decisions 
And happy thanks giving to all stateside.
