From what I understand, since I am not ovulating, the dr said he isn't sure when AF will come so in order to not wait and waste time, he has me start taking it when he realizes that I haven't ovulated. Apparently about a week after you ovulate, your progesterone levels should be in the teens for medicated cycles and need to continue to get higher if you become pregnant. The last reading I had was 7 days after what I thought was an LH surge and it was 1.4. = ( So by taking the progesterone, I am tricking my body into thinking that I ovulated and when I stop taking the progesterone, the drop makes AF arrive 2- 14 days later, usually 2 or 3 days for me.
