progesterone cream?????

Question

ok to start off i was given the progesterone challenge by my doctor a.k.a provera challenge and about 2 or 3 days after stopping i got my period, not only did i get my period but it was really heavy and i had alot of cramping I'm not sure if that has anything to do with not having my period for a year befor the challenge, anyways my doctor told me i should try using progesterone cream, my husband and i would also like to conceive..My question is if i'm not sure when or if i'm even ovulating can progesterone cream help me with that, and when would be good to use the cream without interupting my ovulation and how long am i suppose to use it for...I heard it's either good to help with pregnancy but also gets in the way for conception to occur. So i am not wanting to use it befor or during ovulation but after ovulation. also i have had quite a few miscarriages already due to low progesterone. when would be a good time in the cycle to start using the cream and for how long. thanks

Answer 1

Your body is supposed to start making progesterone after ovulation. The corpus luteum is the sac that releases the egg. Once the egg is released the corpus luteum degrades and releases progesterone. You should use the cream after ovulation only. You can use it either until you get your period or, if you are pregnant, until your doctor tells you to stop. You might need to supplement your progesterone for a couple of weeks into a pregnancy.

Answer 2

I used progersterone cream when I was trying to become pregnant. You should use it after you ovulate and untill your period comes. If you become pregnant you can continue to use it into your pregnancy. This website gives a good explination
