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

[Guest guest]

Chele,

Thanks for the info. Do you know if there are any risks in taking

progesterone while getting pregnant? What happens when you stop

taking it, are you at risk then of losing the pregnancy? Is there a

sudden drop when you end the progesterone?

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.

Usually you'll ovulate around 20-22mm, if memory serves...though

don't quote me on that! ;-)

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.
