Should I do it?

Another question for you ladies... thank you in advance for helping me out. I've only been here for a week and already I feel much more optimistic and supported. :)

 

RE put me on Endometrin a few months back when we identified a LPD. But as I mentioned in an earlier post, my ovulation days have moved up from days 19-20 to anywhere from day 12-16. Last month, RE still had me use progesterone supplements because she thinks I have a low progesterone issue. (Although when I was tested at the beginning of our IF journey, my OB said my progesterone level on day 21 was so high they thought for sure I was pregnant). 

According to FF, I may have ovulated on Day 12 this cycle, but my peak day on my monitor didn't show until days 13/14. So now I am trying to figure out if I should use the progesterone or not. I emailed RE, but I'm pretty sure she will tell me to do it, but if I didn't ovulate yet, it could prevent me from doing so later in my cycle. Part of me really wants to trust my body -- I ovulated early/on time. That should mean something is working, right? Also, DH and I have already decided to start IUI cycle in June, so I have kind of given up on getting pregnant this cycle and definitely next, so maybe I should just take a break from trying to mess with things. But then, if I don't use it, what if my progesterone levels really are low. I'm so confused! Any thoughts?

    Maybe they can check your progesterone level on day 21 for this cycle and see where it stands. Then go from there...good luck!

    I am kind of surprised that your RE is not having you do blood work to see where your progesterone levels are at.  Mine drew it on M, W, F to see how it was doing.
