for you. I hope the meeting with your doctor goes well and gives you the kind of information and support you need. Plus that all is well with your sister and that it is not too hard for you.
Lovesdolphins, sorry about af. It is so frustrating isn't it, when people get pregnant with no effort.
There seem to be loads of pregnant people at work, suddenly. I do feel a bit envious of their bumps.
I just found out this weekend that two more people I know are pg. That makes six that I see on a regular basis. It's tough!! One of these days, though, it will be us that everyone is envious of. 
I haven't gone yet - I leave work here in 30 minutes. I'm really looking forward to it, hopefully getting some answers. And my sister's appointment is right before mine and I'm anxious to find out whether she is having a girl or boy. I've had my mind on this appt all day - glad it's almost here! I'll be back on tomorrow and will let you all know what I find out. Hopefully, they'll take blood today and go ahead and do the test. I hope, I hope!

I'm no expert. But what I've read seems to say that progesterone can hinder the amount of mucous you produce while fertile (which would make it near impossible to conceive), so it must be taken after ovulation. Once you've ovulated though, progesterone supports the pregnancy, at first it is your progesterone which supports the baby, then it is progesterone produced by the placenta. This makes me think that it would be best to take the progesterone from O day until you know whether or not you're pregnant - then if you're pregnant keep taking it for a few weeks, if not then stop immediately so as not to affect your chances next cycle.
I know that if used from ovulation to period that progesterone has no impact on your ability to conceive, because I know that it is often used to help people with painful periods who morally object to contraception.
But I, like you, think that waiting until you know whether or not you're pregnant to start taking the progesterone would be too risky. I would think you would need it earlier than that.
for you.
