Good news and bad news

Good news first: I got my period this weekend, in spite of taking 2x 100mg
prometrium (progesterone) as a vaginal suppository. So I guess my body
knows what it's at, in spite of the additional hormones.

Bad news: I'm not preggers this round, but I knew that. Weird enough, I
felt pregnant for 5 days after ovulation, then it disappeared. In spite of
the mild pregnancy symptoms from the progesterone, I still have some
symptoms that are not controlled by it. Those were also consistently
absent.

I don't feel disappointed at all, it just feels right. Next few cycles I
will continue using the prometrium, as it worked very well for me. Side
effects were mild, no messy displays, and my period appeared 17DPO, so all
the TTC 'rules' still apply.

Hi Ilse,

I'm happy for your good news, and for the very steady way
you're taking the "bad" news. Good luck in the next cycle(s)!

Emily

the prometrium works for you quickly!

Good luck!

I don't understand how the progesterone can work in favour of fertility. I
don't mean this to say it's not true: I only need to be explained. You see,
I was using a Mirena coil before as a contraceptive, and one of its main
function is to release progesterone in the uterus, in order, or so I
thought, to prevent the nesting of the egg.

Can anyone fill me in on the real effect of progesterone as a conception on
contraception tool?

I hope it happens soon for you Ilse. So have you reached the end of your testing?

I'm sorry you didn't conceive yet, Ilse, but I'm so happy to hear that
everything is working as normal.

It might have to do with the timing of the progesterone -- with progesterone
to enhance fertility, it's only started AFTER ovulation. Perhaps if there
is a constant stream of progesterone before ovulation, it might prevent
ovulation, or prevent implantation. Just a guess. I don't know anything
about the coil.
