Progesterone

rainbowwishes5

Does anyone know if a doctor (in my case RE) might prescribe it on a non-medicated cycle? I'm so at a loss if I do medicated or try naturally instead. But I'm convinced I need progesterone with my 7-9 day luteal phase. Thoughts???? 
I'm in a clutching a straws moment here

Edit to add: I've read about progesterone on this board and I am convinced I have a luteal phase defect. I'm wondering if my RE will treat it or if I am condemned to more miscarriages until I can "prove" this is my problem. Like everyone here I really don't want to go through yet another miscarriage. I'm trying to up my odds of keeping the baby in any way I can. Like everyone else.

Have you brought this concern up with your RE? I always lay it all out on the line with my docs and see what they do/say/suggest. 

Have you tried vitamin B6? Its supposed to help lengthen LP

@ladipale Left a message for my nurse as I don't see the RE until the 18th. And I expect to ovulate before that. I did not ever take B6 or baby aspirin but I just bought some- do I take them now or after I ovulate, do you know? And thank you!

My friend who has LPD (7-9 day LPs) started her crinone with her BFP. She's now had 2 rainbow babies. Hopefully your RE will agree with you and the timing works out!

Oh that's good news for your friend! FX my RE agrees.....

I think B6 can be taken all the time.. I take it now with my PNV. I will start baby aspirin once I have a positive pregnancy test but some people start it after they ovulate.. I may try that at some point.

I've started both (I'm desperate and a spaz so there's that...) I put a call into my nurse. Fx I hear back today. Thanks again!

Update! Dr ok with giving me progesterone but doesn't think it's going to be as successful as a non-medicated (non IUI) cycle
