RE: Re: Progesterone for mood

[Guest guest]

The 100 mg dosage was not changed, just the

frequency. Increased to days 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 instead of just days 18,

21, 24. The progesterone is a compounded injectable, a mix of micronized

natural progesterone (plant derived, no synthetic) in sesame oil. My

pharmacy mixes 100 mg to 1 cc(ml) oil, but some mix 100 mg/2cc. It is

injected on those days to simulate the post-ovulatory progesterone rise because

I have PCOD and usually don’t ovulate until around day 40. After

that, my post-ovulatory phase is usually only about 7 days. We start on

day 18 rather than 14 to give my body a chance to ovulate on its own within

reasonable time. We (Dr. and I) are hoping I will only have to do this a

few cycles and “reset” my body on a normal cycle of its own.

For women who normally ovulate on time but have short luteal phase, the

injections are started on day 3 post-ovulation.

Have you had the surgery? Ovarian Wedge Resection? Doesn't he do that for PCOD too?

I have not had that yet, as he considers

it a last resort option.
