Menopause natural remedies and help with hot flashes and night sweats.
I know that Provera doesn’t cause ovulation, but I can’t afford another trip to the doctor at this time for a Clomid prescription. Has anyone had any success with just Provera. If you did how long did it take.
My nurse miss informed me so I am dying to find out but its still too early to take a HPT and they wont test for HCG until Monday. At day 21 of my cycle my progesterone was at 42 ( with the help of Clomid) but from what I understand a normal progesterone level even with Clomid is about 25. So does this level of progesterone mean I am pregnant?
I am on my first round of clomid, I have ovulated on day 17, which is great for me! My temps are going up and down since, I can not reach my OB (because of the long weekend) for three days. I am on 7 dpo. I started natural progesterone cream yesterday, because I wanted to keep my temps up. Looks like it’s working, this morning it was high, but I am still not sure, if it’s a good idea. I have been TTC for a year now, miscarried once. I also have insulin resistance. Any advice would be appreciated.
I am in the process of transitioning to a new OB/GYN and can’t get in during this cycle…my old doctor gave me my second round of Clomid, but I feel I am not going to get pregnant due to a low level of progesterone. The doctor has never actually told me that I have low progesterone, but then I don’t think he ever tested me for it.
Should I wait to be seen and tested by my new doctor, or should I use the cream from the drug store and follow the label directions?
I took Provera Oct. 31st, and got my period 7 days later. Then I took Clomid 5 days later. Today is day 31, and no period. Do you think I will get my period in the next day or two, and should I wait….or should I start my provera which I take for 7 days, and wait 7 days for my period, which delays taking Clomid for 2 weeks. Is there a chance I will get my period in the next few days? The Dr said my blood tests show I did not ovulate, and I have PCOS. What do you think?
By the way, I am now going to be taking 100 mg Clomid and I want to start soon, and I know if I take provera, I will have to wait 2 weeks to do it.
I have a short luteal phase and I am on Femara this month. When I was on Clomid in the past, I had a lengthened luteal phase. However, I don’t know if the Femara will lengthen my luteal phase or not. I did ask at the doctor’s office when I got an IUI done but I got the procedure done on a weekend and the only one there was a nurse, and she basically said she didn’t know. I have lost pregnancies in the past because of a lack of progesterone and short luteal phase, so I’d like to take progesterone cream just in case. I am currently 5 dpo. Is it too late to start using the cream? Any opinions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago in part to ask about fertility. I am 38 years old and am not wanting to take any drastic measures to get pregnant. I always had a very regular period (every 28 days, could set my watch). Although they were VERY heavy and horrible. The last few years it is all over the place. Some are 21 days, others are 35+. The Dr. said this is probably because I am not ovulating every month now. Since I am 38 and have a family history of early menopause, he did a test to see if maybe I had started perimenopause, but it came back negative. About a year ago they checked for fibroids and found one small one that was so deep in the lining of the uterus that they said it shouldn’t cause any problems. This recent visit the Dr. recommened starting me on Clomid to regulate my ovulation. Will they need to run any additional tests before prescribing Clomid?
I have never been pregnant. My husband and I haven’t used any form of conctreception for about 7 years, but I did check for fertility for a couple of years and we generally used back up or abstained during this time. We were NOT very careful and I never got pregnant.
What else should I ask the Dr. when I call? Thanks for your anwers!!
My doctor has prescribed me Provera to help with starting my period so I can start Clomid to help with chances of conceiving. Just would like to know due to a vacation coming up, that I want to be free of my period.
Hi I have used the Arbonne Progesterone Cream 5 months and each time it gave me a cycle. I used it until I got red, red meant stop, then used it again on day 10 after I started and did that for 5 months. I never ovulated either. So I just finished my Clomid and thought I might start the Progesterone cream too. I wasn’t sure if that would help me ovulate too, but I don’t know when to start it. Any advice would be great. Thank you.
This is my third month of clomid 100mgs days 3-7 due to PCOS. The last two months I get positives on pregnancy tests, next day have all negatives, and a couple days later I get my period. I know I’m ovulating on it and having chemical pregnancies. Its heart breaking. I’ve read about using progesterone cream after ovulation while on clomid and was wondering if anyone ever used this method and actually got pregnant and stayed pregnant??? Please answer me, I’m so discouraged. This would be my 3rd baby, first with meds, and every month it just gets harder.
I am trying to get pregnant with PCOS. I am on Metformin 500 mg daily, and progesteone cream. Will these medicaitions help with ovulation?? I know progesterone will help maintain a pregnancy but thats not my problem yet, I cannot get pregnant after 8 years. I thought this may be a glimmer of hope. I have taken clomid but it hyperstimulated my ovaries and my doc said that I didn’t need clomid.

I’m going on my third round of Clomid at 150 mg. I ovulated last month but did not get pregnant. When my doctor called in my prescription this week she called to tell me that they would be putting me on a progesterone cream. I had to go online and look up what it was for because the phone nurse didn’t tell me. I asked a friend of mine, who is also using Clomid and is ovulating, if they had put her on the same thing. i just assumed it was used as a little extra help to make a pregnancy stick. My friend told me that they never put her on it and that the only reason they would put me on the cream was if they believed that the egg was being fertilized but that the uterus wasn’t accepting the egg. I’m going to call the doctor’s office tomorrow to get some more info, but i wanted other people’s input as well. What’s the deal with the progesterone cream? Why would they prescribe it to me? What exactly does it do?
Can Progesterone be used to help get pregnant?
I have had no results on Clomid. I am now taking progesterone. I know this does not act as a contraceptive, but does it help in any way to get pregnant? Has this helped anyone like me? I have PCOS.
I have had one miscarriage and my doctor is putting me on clomid. Has anyone used otc progesterone cream while TTC? My friends who have had fertility issues and doctor told me that low levels of progesterone can cause miscarriage or non-implantation. My dr for some reason doesn’t want to put me on prog. suppositories.
I want to hear HOW to use prog cream and people that have used it - I don’t want to hear "ask your doctor" or "change doctors" etc….please write if you have experience with this. Thanks! The cream I got is from Whole Foods and is by Emerita and called Pro-Gest. It is the best cream on the market and all natural (according to research I did)
