back on clomid - questions, thanks and ? of progesterone.

[Guest guest]

Has anyone else taken progesterone in their luteal phase after ovulation??

I have used progesterone suppositories and PIO (progesterone in oil). Also, many doctors use Clomid to help LPD because it allows you to produce larger, better quality follicles (and sometimes more than one), which means more progesterone due to a larger (or more than one) corpus luteum.

I go back next week for an ultrasound to see if the clomid is working. Do you know if they can predict ovualtion date by looking at the ultrasound?? THanks for your help,

They will measure your follicle/s to see what size they are. Usually you'll ovulate around 20-22mm, if memory serves...though don't quote me on that! ;-)

Another option is to have them give you a trigger hCG injection when your follicles are a certain size, which mimics the LH surge. This allows you to more accurately pinpoint ovulation which helps in the timing of BD or treatment.
