Low progesterone ladies?

[lisaf]

I'm looking for anyone else out there who is struggling with progesterone deficiencies.

I'm 14dpo right now and on progesterone suppositories. Its keeping my temp high and AF away. Doc wants me to take them one more time tonight and test tomorrow morning. If negative, he wants me to stop them. While I highly doubt that I'm pregnant, I'm still afraid to stop the supps... 'just in case'.

I think I had a chemical last cycle and the one before... so the one cycle I finally get the progesterone supps and it doesn't stick? Just so frustrated/sad about this.
I got a line on a IC test a few days ago.. but either that was the bean sticking then failing or it was a faulty test. All my tests since have been negative.
I've never had so few symptoms of pregnancy either. My boobs haven't hurt once (confirming again that my progesterone was super low this month).

I started spotting yesterday at 13dpo and still spotting today at 14... making me lose more hope even though the spotting is super light.
I normally have a 12day LP so its like my period is trying to start? Too much to hope that its IB or early pregnancy spotting, right?

If you are getting negative tests now and spotting at 14dpo then I would say it is the start of AF and not IB. If it were early pregnancy spotting then you would be getting a positive test by now. The progesterone is stretching your cycles out though so that is a good thing! Have you had any scans to check the thickness of your womb lining?

I am not sure what is going on with my progesterone! The months I have been tested (all of twice in 2 and a half years ttc!!) the results have come back within normal but since last August my natural cycles have only been 23 - 24 days and my AF has always been super light. On my last IUI I took progesterone pessaries but still started bleeding at 13dpo so it seems they didn't have much of an effect on me. I am about to start my next cycle again now so might ask about increasing the dose this time....

Best of luck, hope that they can help you resolve your LP issues!

Thanks, the temp drops seem to agree that its just AF with the spotting. A little surprised my temp dropped even with the supps since I thought they were what was keeping my temp nice and high.

I usually spot at 10-11dpo so it kept the spotting at bay a while longer and the spotting only started on the dpo my period usually comes in fully.

Next round will be with clomid at 100mg so hopefully that will be all I'll need.

What does and type of progesterone did they have you on? I'm on the 200mg wax(?)suppositories which, from what I hear, has the best results.
Do you chart your temp to check your LP?
