Does Progesterone affect BBT?

[singhshweta21]

Hey all. Was just wondering whether Progesterone supplements have any impact on our BBT?? Actually I started my supplements since yesterday night and today in the morning my BBT was5 points higher..is it the natural rise or because of Progesterone supplements..any suggestions idea???

thx a ton...now i am noting the increase accordingly and hey thx again for checking out my temps chart and throwing in a comment...This is my first month of BBT charting and i was wondering whom to ask about my temps rise and fall:)

The natural rise is caused by progesterone and the supplements probably helped it go up even further. Since you are past ovulation, it won't cloud as to when o was. It's a good thing they don't rx progesterone until after o or it would really cause confusion on bbt charts. Btw, your chart is looking really good!

thnks for the info....hmm now wondering how would i depend on my temps?? :(..i was like planning to track my BBt and when it will start falling I would be prepared for an AF :)

Progesterone increases the BBT and taking supplements does affect the temps. Any online O tracker will have provision to note this and you should include this information.

Yes, progesterone is what cause your temperature to go up, so a supplement could affect your regular temps. I would just make a note of it on your chart :-)
