Hi everyone
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about natural progesterone cream
I have a really short luteal phase (6 days). I generally ovulate late in a 26-28 day cycle.
I have had loads of tests done. My fsh is ok. Ultrasounds have shown I do ovulate and my lining is ok throughout my cycle. I have progesterone tests done which confirm i ovulate late. My progesterone seems ok for a couple of days after I ovulate but then I get af a few days later. This has made me wonder if my progesterone level drops sharply 4-5 days after ov (I have read this can be common) - though I haven't had this tested yet.
I am so sick of my fs. I had an ultrasound on day 18 this month which showed a ripe follicle but no ov. He gave me a hcg trigger (don't know why as I would have ovualted soon after anyway!!!!!) Anyway I am at 4 dpo now and the hcg is out of my system. I am really scared of losing a fertilised egg so am applying approx 30 mg natural progesterone cream daily in case my levels fall inducing af. I have read that there are not any side effects of this and it is a common practice.(by the way - I didn't have time to discuss this fully with my fs as he was in a rush and needed to get to another appointment - great!!)
Does anyone know anything more about this. Would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks xxxx
