I have been using the cream (over-the-counter) for the last two cycles. My temps have stayed above coverline using the cream. Hope that helps?

Oh, that's good! Personally, I take vaginal progesterone but just notice the bottle has been expired since last year...lol. How do take the cream?

Hi there! You take the cream after confirmed ovulation (usually 3 DPO confirmed by temps) and you just apply a small amount to your forearms or back of the knees (need a spot that doesn't have a lot of fat for it to absorb). You take it twice a day morning and night until the end of your LP. My LP is 16 days so i test on day 16 and if i get a BFN then i stop the cream and AF comes. Last month AF came without me having to stop the cream. I'm 13 DPO today so i will stop taking it monday if i don't get a BFP (so far, tests have all been negative). I got it on Amazon it's called Emerita Pro-Gest cream. I don't think the cream is nearly as strong or effective as the prescription suppositories. Those are supposed to be the best.

I don’t track BBT. I am taking 200 mg orally before bed. Just offering moral support.
