Question

Has anyone used over the counter Progesterone Cream?

I started an over the counter progesterone cream today on 3dpo. Have any of you ever used it?

Progesterone gets started once you become pregnant and when you first get your BFP. Never herd of it
"over the counter" in Australia is it a compounding drug that has to be made up, it is very expensive and can't even be prescribed by a regular doctor, they must be a OBGYN specialist and that's for the progesterone cream or injections. I would imagine every country is different. Trying to boost your progesterone levels by self prescribing isn't going to help get you actually pregnant, the progesterone hormone is what is needed to hold the pregnancy once you fall pregnant. If you are ovulating and have a normal cycle your body will produce the corpus luteum which where the progesterone comes from anyway. Not sure why you are self prescribing the cream to produce progesterone at 3dpo?

"Over the counter" in the US are medications that can be obtained in the pharmacy or other stores without prescription. Progesterone cream can also be bought at Healthfood stores like Whole Foods. It can be helpful when trying to lengthen the luteal phase if a short lp is the problem. I have not used progesterone cream, but pills (prometrium) or vaginal inserts prescribed by my dr to extend my lp from 11 days to 13 days. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

That's interesting I've learnt something. Amazing how countries are so different. I thought I knew a lot after 6 pregnancies and 4 m/c's and 3 D&C's. Thanks for teaching me something new. GL ladies
