Hi


If any of you are on Progesterone medicine, can you tell me why and what your # was if you were tested.

Hey there Kim,

Well I'm on progesterone and oddly enough never got tested. (I did get all my other blood work done though to check FSH etc.) After talking to my doctor and explaining about tracking my cycles since January, she highly recommended going on it. She said since I spotted four or five days before each period, it was obvious to her that my progesterone levels were low. She didn't think a test was necessary. At first I was really hesitant, but now that I'm on my second cycle of progesterone, my spotting is going away and my luteal phase is longer and my temps stay up, making implantation possible. Anyhoo, I'm still waiting to see if it's worked this cycle but I'm glad I'm on it.

Don't know if this helps at all.

Oops I forgot,

She prescribed Crinone, which is a vaginal suppository. I start taking it as soon as I know that I've ovulated.

Thanks Jenn!


I start spotting really early also, it usually starts 1 week before AF.
