Informal GKU IF check-in 6/27

[Deleted]

Does anyone have experience with spotting while on Progesterone? I'm going to ask on 3T too.

I started Prometrium 9 days ago without being able to confirm O because it was prescribed to help alleviate pain.

I'm on CD23, possibly 10 dpo. I tested this morning per doctor's order and it was negative (shocker there), then less than an hour later I started cramping and spotting.

Should I call my doctor's office to see if I should continue the medication, or wait until I have a full flow, or third option which would be to wait it out until my appointment on Tuesday?

I'm afraid of making more of a mess of my cycle than it is already.

Sorry, I don't have any experience with this but I'd probably call your doctor and see what they say. Especially since it's a holiday weekend and all.

Even Prometrium can't stop my uterus. Ugh.

Yea, I'd call just to see what they say. These last few cycles on progesterone I've always stopped and then gotten my period 48 hours after. ::shrug::

Did it help with your pain at least??

1. Strong gif usage.
2. I say this about my ovaries all the time. I'm like, Hey H, I might be ovulating soon! Then later he'll be like, so we could be pregnant this time right? And I'm like, no, pretty my ovaries just gave up again. They do what they want.

Immensely. Still pretty bloated, but not hurting anymore.

We haven't gotten any calls yet but we haven't logged into the portal either. I'm pretty scared to do it. But I want to know so I can react and recover this weekend.

Oops...meant to post in randoms

Great update mustloveerica!

Hugs kawaiikitsune!

Progesterone question...if I'm not KU, which, bfn today again but it's still kind of early, will I still get my period if I'm still using progesterone?

And does anyone know if it will keep my temp elevated? It's still soaring and normally I'd see a drop by now...

Feeling like such a newb...gawsh.

[teachermomtobe]

thechickencoop, I have never gotten my period while taking progesterone. I usually get it 2-3 days after I stop taking it. And yes, it will keep your temps high which is why I decided to stop temping on medicated cycles.

Ok awesome, thanks. The last two cycles I've stopped and then gotten my period about 48 hours later but I was only taking it for diagnostics so we were TTA anyway. This cycle I'm like...uhhh...how long am I supposed to be on this if I keep getting BFNs? I guess I'll call Tuesday to discuss because that would be CD30 and the only time my cycles have been longer than 28 days is when I've gotten a bfp.

My RE makes me go for betas on 12dpo and then they tell me to stop taking progesterone if it's negative. If you're not doing betas I'd imagine they have to test for a bit longer to give HPTs a chance to be accurate.

Hmmm, yea. I have no clue. But thank you, I'll make sure to ask. I didn't get much plan info.

Can anyone talk to me about triggers? I triggered last night and my RE said O would be Tuesday. Should I manually enter that into FF? I'm not temping but I use OPKs. I'm guessing those will be worthless with a trigger still in your system?

Also, what DPO do you start testing to test out a trigger? Thank you in advance!

I do the manual overide for O day when I trigger since I don't temp for medicated cycles. I have never tested out trigger so I am no help with that.
