Starting Progesterone Suppositories - Timed Intercourse

[RachaelP1027]

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 3 years. The last 4 months we did 3 rounds of Clomid, and 1 round of lLetrozole. We were unsuccessful with the Clomid and are now waiting to get our BFP after using the Letrozole. I was also given Ovidrel to force ovulation.

I have been monitored by my specialist this whole month to confirm ovulation. He said I ovulated on 10/9 from my left ovary but could potentially ovulate again on the right ovary. I believe I ovulated on my right side on 10/13.

Today I had my blood tested and my progesterone levels were 11.5 and they said my levels should be around 20, so they gave me 200mg of progesterone suppositories to take each night before bed, starting tonight.

SO basically I'm anywhere from 9 to 5 days DPO and just starting progesterone. Has anyone used the suppositories and been successful? Or started them at these days of DPO? I feel like it's kind of late in my cycle, but the doctors seem to think it's fine. We can take a HPT next Wendesday on 10/26 and our 3 year anniversary is on 10/27, so we are really hoping for a miracle and a BFP to celebrate on our anniversary.

Thanks!

I can't totally share in your same experience, but wanted to say good luck!

I started the progesterone suppositories (50mg twice a day) last cycle at 4 DPO. I didn't have success with a BFP, but it was my first cycle after excision of endometriosis and a polyp, but it did increase the volume when AF finally arrived (I think it was delayed from continuing the progesterone as AF started as soon as I stopped I think it was about 19 DPO, I kept hoping that the BFN would turn to a BFP). I had had very light periods the last 2 years, so it worked in that sense for me to thicken my lining for implantation.
