Progesterone is Provera Right?

Sorry if this is a stupid question! But on Fertility Friend I have been spending lots of time looking at the chart gallery. I'm assuming "On Pregesterone" means On Provera right? Just confused because it appears most people start taking it right after they ovulate but my doc has me take it later in the cycle after confirming I'm not pg. Also, a few articles suggest taking Provera if you are pregnant could be harmful. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

    Provera is a form of progesterone.  Most of us are on a different type taken in suppository form that will help sustain a possible pregnancy....so charts you see that have the "P" from right after O to AF are on Prometrium, Endometrin, or Crinone.  Provera is used when you don't ovulate to fake your body into thinking you have and inducing a period.

    Provera is not safe for pregnancy. Prometrium is.

    This...Both are progesterone, but since provera isn't safe, it is normally only taken to induce a period. Prometrium is normally given right after ovulation is confirmed to help implantation, etc.

    IIRC my RE said it's because prometrium is naturally derived whereas provera is synthetically manufactured.

    Don't quote me on this, though.
