So, I'm on progesterone suppositories....

Well, they are definitely working to lengthen my LP, so that's a plus.  I am now 12 DPO, as opposed to a LP of 10.  I have mixed feelings cause now I have to POAS on Sunday, and I can already feel it's going to be a BFN, just to finally see AF, which I am artificially putting on hold because of the progesterone.  I just don't feel pregnant.  On a proactive side, we finally made our initial consult appointment with RE scheduled for July 1st.  DH's SA is normal, so I guess it's on to Cycle 18 for us.  I never thought TTC #2 would be this hard since we just had #1 20 months ago.  Hope you all have a great weekend!

    Until AF shows though, always hope. Glad to hear you have the RE appointment scheduled.

    You have a great weekend too!

    If you don't mind, could you tell me what it's like to use them? ?My doc gave me a sample and a prescription, but I won't start it until I get a BFP. ?I'm most concerned with hormonal swings from the progesterone, as well as possible itching, or having the stuff fall back out. ?(TMI?)

    Thanks!

    Hi Brosis-

    It's not that bad at all, and no itch.  I put one in at bedtime and wear a pad just in case I leak. I do get up to pee during the night which I worry is effecting it's ability to "work", but it seems to have kept my temps up anyway. I use them right after thermal shift to lengthen my LP, before BFP.  So far, I haven't had any side effects that I feel.  It's my first month trying it.  If I get a BFN on Sunday I will stop.  I don't know yet how AF will be afterwards.  I also tried using the natural progesterone cream applied through the skin which is a much smaller dosage.

    I want to clarify..  You have been TTC #2 for 18 cycles/months & your 1st child is 20 months, correct? so you have been ttc since your 1st was 2 months old?  WOW, you were brave.  I couldn't even think about baby #2 until my 1st was 1.

    Sorry it is taking so long for you guys, hope you get your bfp soon
