Progesterone Before O - HELP
My chart is all over the place (link below). I think I may have o'd on day 48 (yes long cycle) but I'm not sure anymore. I started taking progesterone suppositories on Saturday the 14th because FF gave me a line and I thought I was safe. Now I'm worried that FF was wrong due to the flat temps.
First off do you think I o'd or is my temp higher (above a cover line) due to the progesterone?
Secondly, I'm a little worried that if I did not ovulate I have stopped or delayed ovulation from occuring. Does anyone know the affects of taking progesterone suppositories before O? Should I be worried? I don't want to wait another 2 months for something to happen. I was thinking of checking my temps for the next couple of days and seeing where it goes from there...but if anyone knows that would be great.
Thank you for your help!
BTW - I am at a clinic and they gave up on this cycle at day 20 and no O. I decided I was not ready to start up AF and I would ride this as far as I can (hence the super long cycle).

Hi!
I don't think you ovulated. I do think your progesterone has elevated your temperatures.
I think you may want to consider something to help you ovulate. If you are afraid of the risk of multiples, consider metformin. But taking progesterone at this point is not doing you a bit of good. You may want to consider a pregnancy test since it has been so long. Then stop everything and re-connect with your clinic. That's my best advice!
Good luck!
