when to call for progesterone
Hi - I'm just asking here because I can't get alone time on the phone since Im training someone right here in my office
Anyway I'm supposed to call in for progesterone suppositories when I ovulate - I use the ClearBlue monitor and I just hit the 2 bar level this morning - should I call my dr? Or do I wait until I'm at peak?
TIA and does anyone have any experience with progesterone? I've done some reading and already warned DH that I could become very moody....

Re: when to call for progesterone
Hey Donna,
You call the doctor as soon as you get your peak reading on the monitor and then, you come in for a progesterone test 8 days past the surge which is usually 7 dpo. That's usually how reproductive specialists work. However, maybe they want you to be on them immediately ?
I am on the suppositories now. My first month on them, gave me some pregnancy symptoms and through me for a big tease...since they delayed my AF and I thought I was pregnant. They are a nuisance. They leak...:( so you have to wear panty liners.....but other than that, they are really not a big deal. I heard the suppositories have less side effects than the pills....because they are going straight to the issue and not traveling throughout your bloodstream first. Just what I heard, not sure if it's true. Again everyone is different.

Re: when to call for progesterone
Thanks!
Since it's almost lunch I'm just going to call when I get outside, I'll have a break from this training....
Thanks for the headsup about the experience I heard about the leaks - not looking forward to that.
My AF has always been on time, that's going to play with my head now if it's going to start getting screwy...

Re: when to call for progesterone
exactly what redstar said is right. They make me very moody, and I couldnt stand it. It does some weird things to your body

Re: when to call for progesterone
Thanks for your responses but I got it all wrong
I have to go for another blood test (I've had 10 vials taken from me so far ) one week after I ovulate I guess to check my progesterone - does that sound right?

Re: when to call for progesterone
yes you have to do in 7DPO for the progesterone test. Welcome to the science of having a baby.
