Hi ladies! I'm very excited that I just made an appointment with a new OB that my friend recommended. She loves him and says he has a great bedside manner so I'm excited to try him out LOL. I just need to call my current OB and get copies of all my labs that they did. I'm going to ask the new OB to check my progesterone level- I'm wondering if maybe I'm low. I've been researching it and low progesterone can cause so many things not even really that you would relate to AF or pregnanacy and I have a lot of them, so we'll see. My appt is January 6th, which coincidentally is my projected O day (I usually O on CD 19, which is 1/6 this cycle) so I hope that's good timing! I had very early spotting this cycle, I honestly think I had a spot of spotting on 6 DPO but I thought is was maybe irritation so I didn't chart it. I also thought maybe it was because maybe I haven't regulated since my last m/c but not sure if that's true since I O'ed on my normal day and my LP was 12 days. I am on a B complex vitamin. Does anyone use progesterone cream here? I don't really want to use it before talking to this new OB so I'm hoping I don't O earlier than my appt. I'm assuming I can just go out and get it (either at GNC or by prescription if he writes one) that day and start it. I'm really hopeful for this cycle.

Jacque sounds like a great Dr! As for the Progesterone.. I was given supplements.. But I don't think I am going to start them this month.. untill about 5 dpo. I started them when my Dr told me.. but I am not sure if it was too soon.. I got Cross hairs from FF... But who knows. Since progesterone can cause ovulation to not happen if started to early. HUGS!

I def agree that you should get your progesterone checked but typically they don't check it till ~ 7 DPO. My LP is usually 12 days but I also have a progesterone defect so you can't always tell by your LP. Anyway, I'm a high proponent of checking progesterone. No, I never did cream or anything for the defect but was given Clomid which helped one cycle. I actually did the cream way before being dx with the progesterone defect for another reason... to level out my hormones but NOT b/c of the progesterone defect.

GL!
