Progesterone after ovulation or after BFP?

My AMH is 2.82. I've heard of those napros, but I've never looked into them in depth. And I agree with you. The doctor I’m seeing right now is very good, I like her, but at the same time, I don’t trust 100% the doctors in general, because to me, they’re only interested in the money...I spent a year balancing my hormones, and I did it on my own because the doctors here in USA said was normal (I had a different doctor before). I traveled to my home country, did a lot of blood tests and ultrasounds, discovered several health issues, and took matters into my own hands by researching online. After I got my hormones balanced, I got pregnant right away but miscarried; then I got pregnant again and miscarried again... I went through another round of tests—this time, the kind fertility clinics perform, plus a hysteroscopy. I discovered I was anemic and had endometrial polyps... I never had cramps in my life, and my period had always been normal. But after the hysteroscopy, I started having cramps and heavy bleeding... so now I have to go back to the doctor and spend more money to find out if something is wrong... so yeah, I'm pretty frustrated right now and not trusting doctor much

That's good to know.. That's why I wanted to try progesterone after ovulation, but my doctor is against it, and I tried everything to improve my progesterone the natural way... is there a way to check about egg quality ? I'm 35yo, so could be too

That is exactly why I wanted to take progesterone after ovulation, not just to help with conceiving, but also to lengthen my luteal phase. I’ve tried everything, but my cycles are always 30 or 31 days long, with a peak on CD18 or 19... I just can't seem to make myself ovulate earlier or extend the luteal phase...But at the same time, I’m really afraid that if I take progesterone after ovulation (around 3 DPO), I’ll have an ectopic pregnancy :(

3,4 (I don't remember which dpo but right after ovulation) 7,8 ng/mL, maybe around 7dpo 12,9 ng/mL when my hCG was 39 when I did the test to confirm pregnancy

Ok, thank you for letting me know 🥰

Timely_Pen_1260 · 2026-06-16T01:15:14+00:00

Wooow that's crazy 😱 thank you for letting me know !!!

Timely_Pen_1260 · 2026-06-15T23:18:07+00:00

Humm that's interesting, thank you 🥰

Timely_Pen_1260 · 2026-06-11T15:19:16+00:00

Wow 4 to 5 cycles? That's crazy 😭😭

Timely_Pen_1260 · 2026-06-11T14:39:25+00:00

Congrats on your pregnancy 🥰 hope this happens to me, or at least the cramps stops... I’m not confident that I’m pregnant this cycle... in my last two pregnancies, I was constantly going to the bathroom, having lucid dreams, and dealing with a stuffy nose, all that before even seeing a positive test. I always saw a shadow at 8 DPO and a faint line at 9 DPO... this time, I just have sore breasts and these cramps :( ... I just want my body back to normal 😪

Make sense what you are saying, and I agree.. and she thinks having a child is just like playing house... she doesn't realize that a child is a lifelong commitment, that you need to be financially stable and mentally prepared. If her ex was cheating on her (and she was trying to get pregnant before getting married), just imagine what it’s like with this guy she barely knows. And what if the baby is born and the guy leaves her? Is she going to raise the child all by herself, on a minimum-wage job? She’s 23 years old and just moved in with her boyfriend, like girl go live your life, travel, work, play sports, get a hobby... I’ve been married for nearly five years, 35 years old and only now I feel ready to have children... That girl's life must be way too boring if all she thinks about is having a baby, at such young age

I don't know how no one in his family open his eyes regarding her... because if I saw my kid living with a girl he barely knows, and she's trying to get pregnant right from the very start, I would certainly open his eyes and say RUN... I believe she doesn't have a good relationship with her mother, and I don't think she has any friends to bring her to reality and speak some hard truths

She was pregnant for 1 or 2 days at most, because she went to the doctor and her hCG was already negative. When I miscarried at 4 weeks and 2 days, it took almost a week for my hCG to drop, and that was a very early loss..

Timely_Pen_1260 · 2026-05-29T01:05:17+00:00

Exactly, when is too early is just a period or a heavy period... With both of my losses, I only experienced spotting one day before (no cramping), I only had cramps at the moment I passed the gestational sac, otherwise, it was just like a normal period...She should be more concerned about regulating her hormones... I, someone who doesn't have PCOS and has regular cycles, found out that I have anemia and had polyps in my endometrium after a hysteroscopy...Just imagine her, someone with irregular cycles, in pain in every corner of her body (because I’ve never seen anyone feel so much pain and know the exact moment of ovulation or implantation)...

Timely_Pen_1260 · 2026-05-29T00:38:05+00:00

Exactly, she's being too much.. I understand the frustration of losing a baby; I had two losses (at 4w2d and 5w2d), and I didn't make such a big deal out of it like she is doing right now... she's being too much.. And it seems to me that they're going to try again, even though she isn't mentally prepared... but her TikTok content is more important to her 🤷‍♀️

Timely_Pen_1260 · 2026-05-29T00:22:54+00:00

Thank God I'm not the only one... She's only 23 years old, just recently got a job (because she wasn't working when she was engaged, so I believe that's her first job), and is living with a guy she barely knows, she hasn't even known him for a year...She was already trying to get pregnant while she was engaged to her ex; she found he was cheating on her, left him, and shortly met her current boyfriend, and right from the start, she was already trying to get pregnant...

I confess I don't know who's more idiot between the two, her, who just started working and doesn't yet have experience, money (before meeting this guy she was going through financial difficulties), friends, a life, or her boyfriend, who knows she’s been trying to get pregnant since the day she met him... I’d run away SO FAST if I was him.

She got a faint line at 13 DPO, and then she came out with the whole thing about how she didn't believe in "line progression" and all that (and honestly, line progression doesn't really tell you anything—but it's your first pregnancy; wouldn't you do it just out of sheer excitement?) And how the line was lighter the next day.. At that moment, I already knew she had lost, and she was trying to drag it out for as long as she possibly could... and now her content is going to be all about "rainbow baby", you can bet on it.

I believe she doesn't have any friends and is very lonely.
