Progesterone Supp... ??? LOL

First to my ???  Will progesterone suppositories delay your period?  When I am on clomid AF shows on CD32.  This is my first cylce on clomid and progesterone supp. so Im not really sure what to expect.  I go in for my Beta test on 10/29 which is CD34 for me so I am kinda assuming that if AF hasnt shown that should mean I will get a BFP.

 Now on to my LOL portion.... last month I was on a break cycle due to traveling during the most important week of monitoring and trigger and possible IUI so they had me go in once I got back just to see what my body was doing on its own.  I didnt ovulate as expected (I dont typically O on my own) and told me to refill my progesterone.  My ob used to give me progesterone to regulate my period and it was always pills that i swallowed so when the RE had to actually call the prescription in last month i picked up the pills read the label which said take orally and i did.... then once AF showed the RE was confirming that I took the progesterone supp. and didnt have any difficulties or concerns because i would be doing it again this cycle.... WHAT intravaginally?!?! I was taking them orally... We both busted out laughing.  He wrote big and clear on the prescription that they were to be taken intravaginally this time.

    Honest mistake, and glad you both got a good laugh out of it.

    I've never taken them, but I recall reading before that the progesterone can delay AF.  Hopefully someone who has used them before will comment.

    I believe they can delay AF. I am on CD 2 and starting round 2 of clomid and progesterone suppositories. I am taking the suppositories to help delay AF as I start PMS two days after I ovulate which sucks. My doc thinks this will help keep my progesterone levels up.

    Oh, no. LOL. I'm assuming your RE wanted you to take pills vaginally. There is no way you could mistake the suppositories I had for pills and if you did swallow them I'm sure they would make you ill.

    Hope this is a successful cycle for you!
