My dr. is putting me on progesterone b/c I haven't had AF since August 31. I will ovulate while on the progesterone, correct (of course, assuming I am no infertile)? In other words, can I get pregnant while on the progesterone? I'm a little bit confused.....
Any information or experience on progesterone greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!!!!!!

I think your doctor is putting you on progesterone in order to trick your body into being in the luteal phase - then once off it; you should get your period.


i am taking progesterone as a precaution, only because i am TTC over 40.

Here's my understanding of progesterone.
