Is clomid pregesterone?

in Trying to Get Pregnant

Hi Ladies.  I was talking to my BFF and mentioned that my periods have always been super light.  (Less than four days & can't even fill up a tampon in ten hours last few years.) So I'm worried I would not be able to get KU because of thin lining.  I told her since it's only been three months I thought it was too early to call my DR about getting on pregesterone but I would call after xmas if not BFP. 

She told me a few horror stories about another friend on clomid.  I've heard you girls talk about it but I thought it was more to force an O.  Can you all set me straight?  TIA!

    You have it right. Clomid is not progesterone. Clomid helps with ovulation. Progesterone helps to lengthen LP among other things. :)

    Clomid is not progesterone - it is to induce ovulation.

    If you have only been trying for 3 months, chances are your doctor (and your insurance) are not going to do anything for you yet.  It can take a healthy couple up to a year to get pregnant.

    If it makes you feel better, I have super short periods - 2-3 days and one of those days is usually only light or spotting if that and my RE said it's nothing to worry about.

    Thanks Gymnst, Like I said I'm going to wait another four cycles before even talking to my doctor.  Since I'm turning 32 I know I should wait a year but since DH is turning 38 tomorrow I thought I'd give it six months.  Once I start my job this month and we have some more money I'm gonna try the POM juice.

    If you look at yesterdays post I had asked if short cycles affect fertility and got some good answers. My cycle has been 2 days of bleeding and 2-3 days of spotting and sometimes I will stop bleeding completely for half a day or so and then start back.

    Light periods weren't an issue for me--Mine are usually only 2-3 days of light flow and like gymnst, one of those days might just be spotting.
