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. -- -- I mommy to DS (July '02) mommy to three tiny angels (28 Oct'03, 17 Feb'04 & 20 May'04) guardian of DH (33) TTC #5 |

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 |

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? A confused me EDD Nov 20 "Jamie Clark" wrote in message ...

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. -- Jamie & Taylor Earth Angel, 1/3/03 Check out Taylor Marlys -- www.MyFamily.com, User ID: Clarkguest1, Password: Guest Become a member for free - go to Add Member to set up your own User ID and Password Check out our Adoption Page at http://www.geocities.com/clarkadopt2004/ "Zaz" wrote in message ...
