Hi ladies
I started progesterone on cd 21 this cycle. Today is cd28 and I've noticed some spotting today (did dtd last night not sure if it could be irritation too). I'm not sure if this is AF starting or not because I thought you had to stop the progesterone in order to get a period. Does anyone have any experience?
I do plan to call my doctor tomorrow if it becomes heavier for his opinion but thought I'd ask here too.
Before he told me to start cd21 and if no bfp by cd 35 to stop in order to get my period.
TIA!

Originally he said start it after I get a bfp. I mentioned that I've heard of people starting it after O. He decided that I could start sooner. He said cd21 because I know in the past I've O'd as late as (or around) then. My cycles aren't regular though anywhere between 26-35 days previously, though they are more often 29. So he chose the later end of the cycle.
This cycle I took opks for the first time and had a surge day 15. I know that doesn't always guarantee I O'd though.
And no I don't chart as of yet. Mainly because getting pregnant is the easy part it is the staying pregnant that is the issue.

@PetraStonegirl I didn't know about the 3 day rule. That's interesting since I told him I have O'd as late as cd21 and he told me to start it then. ...

**lc mentioned - sorry not sure how to go around not mentioning! **
I *know* I've ovulated around there based on the edd of my dd and when I got a positive test with her. As well with my second loss I had a negative test cd31 and then a positive cd35.
I know both of these have room for error etc though.

Do you get O signs, EWCM, O pains?

He's supposed to be really great. I think I'll call next week to talk to him specifically to get clarification. Unfortunately my chances of getting another opinion are slim. To get to this ob I had to basically beg my gp to send me because she didn't think seeing someone else was necessary. So to get another obgyn I need to ask her to refer me out again, and waiting probably a couple months to get into one.
Yahh For free health care and living in an area with only one obgyn.
I will look into charting though. I'm worried about it mainly because my mornings are random because of work and I think it would stress me out a lot. I can be really obsessive and even found doing opks were stressful. I'll discuss it with dh though.
Thanks ladies! !

Also, before taking a medication that could impact ovulation, I would definitely start temping to make sure that I already ovulated.
I completely understand being certain about when you O without temping, but that can still change
