Progesterone for Luteal phase defect

Hey Ladies,

So this is weied question and one I will be talking to my doctor's office about, but I wanted your experience on the topic if you dont mind sharing.  I'm a forced break cycle, because of insurance.  My RE says they are happy to consult on this cycle over the phone since insurance won't cover any BW or visits this cycle.  Before the nurse that called realized we had to take a break she reccomended I use progesterone suppositorries to help lenghten my LP, I asked her if I could take the ones left over from my pregnancy in december and she said she thought so, I am supposed to call the office when my kit turns.  My question to you lovely ladies is how many DPO do you start progesterone?  I'm sure I will find out when I call, but I guess I'm being impatient and also just like to know the norm before I call and just blindly go with whatever the nurse I happen to get says since I know I won't talk to my DR this month.  Thanks!!

TTC#1 May 2009- July 2010 on our own with no luck

Started with RE in August 2010, dx with unexplained IF and then finally our 3rd IUI cycle using Follistim and Trigger resulted in our wonderful little man.  Born 12/2/11

TTC#2 Never really prevented, but were careful early on as Dr. reccomended

Surprise BFP 12/16/13, started progesterone immediately as first numbers came back low, but betas were good.  Progesterone wasnt enough. Natural MC 12/24/13.

Back with RE as of January 2014...

5/27/14- Chemical Pregnancy :(

    This sounds good to me. I've not taken them, but know it should be after you o for about 2 weeks...I'm obviously not an expert. Hope that it helps!
