Well I really hope u get ur BFP soon too. I have a 14 year old and 11 year old without even trying so I know how lucky I am. Being on the contraceptive pill for 11 years has stripped all my progesterone so let it be a warning to others. But its unfair that there are so many unwanted babies/pregnancies and others who are so desperate. Its made me look at things so differentely now.

after my mc I had a very short luthal phase for about 4 months ranging from 7 to 9 days, when I went the hospital with very heavy bleeding and clots, the dr gave me tablets to thin the blood out, and I mentioned my luthal phase, she said if it didnt dort itself out on its own, I could get progesterone, luckily it did even out the following month, but I do believe it is available in the uk if I was offered it, and there is no harm in trying surly.
I have read a lot of people in uk trying to get prescribed it, one lady said she went to her local hospital, others have said they had to go private :/ find it really stupid and mean that they are not interested, hope ya get it sorted out.

Thankyou, I think I'm gonna try another gp one last time and see if I can get anywhere, I may even show them all these posts!!! If not we may try a private fertility clinic just to see if they can help. I really don't want to go that route but its easier than moving to the USA !!! I really appreciate all your comments x

As others have mentioned, I would definitely give progesterone a shot. There are many different forms of it available -- aside from the the over-the-counter cream you've tried, there is prometrium (pill which can be taken orally or vaginally), endometrin (tablet taken vaginally), crinone (a gel taken vaginally) and progesterone-in-oil (an injection done intra-muscularly) just to name a few. Good luck!

Do you know if hose are available in the UK over the counter because my GP dosnt want to know!!

omg that is the craziest thing iv ever heard theres nothing they can do! wow i would def be looking around more for opinions thats just a bunch of crock. i dont know much bout wat to take as these ladies do , but thought i should say something you poor girl geeze they r lucky it wasnt me in there id have a fit ! well i hope you get things figured out and some proper answers forsure!

I'm so touched and thankful for all your good wishes and helpful advice. I have a new lease of enthusiasum now because of it and rest assured I will follow all of your advice and seek further medical help. I truly thank you all and wish you ladies my best wishes with your BFP's xxx
