Ok ladies tell me seriously how bad did I just mess this cycle up???? I'm on CD13 coming up to O and I just bought some natural progesterone cream last night. I didn't realize that you're not supposed to use it until after O. Anyways I used about 1 tsp last night and about 1/2 tsp this morning. Obviously I'm going to stop until I know that I O'd but is it too late? Did I mess this cycle up-be honest!

Nah... you should be alright. Definitely quit using it until after you've O'd because you want to make sure that your temps are up naturally, not because of the cream.

But if you only used that little bit... I'd think you'll be alright.

Just watch and see. You might notice feeling drier and your temps might rise a bit because of the progesterone cream. It could cause the process of ovulation to pause, but if you stop taking it - hopefully your body will start gearing up for ovulation again. Just keep tracking your signs and mark your temps for today, tomorrow, and perhaps the day after as "disturbed."
