Will progesterone supplement in TWW sway girl next cycle?

[Throwaway_panther]

I'm 99% sure I'm not pregnant and planning next cycle, but I'm worried the progesterone supplement I was taking during the TWW will impact my next cycle?! I'm especially worried since I may end up having to take Femara, too.

(((Huge Hugs)))TP! I’m hoping and praying that you are NOT out this month!

Progesterone as far as I understand it, only has an impact on the cycle in which you take it and not affecting future cycles.

I know several people IRL that got boys while using Femara! Just stay strong on the diet and try and have a lot of attempts and you should be fine! I may even add in preseed to make BDing comfortable too! I’m sorry your DH is going to be gone for the next 2 cycles . Keep us posted- and we will all be here to help!

🤞🏻!!

Thank you Gender Dreaming for our precious little girl!

Thank you so much XX! It's so kind of you to even respond when you have a beautiful newborn and you're still recovering!!

My temp totally tanked below coverline at 10DPO, and my LP is usually 11, so it would be a miracle at this point.

I'm somewhat heartened by finding a lot of people conceiving boys on Femara on the internet, and I know we've even had some girl opposites on here with it, but boy does it still make me nervous -- that one study said it turned out more girls than even Clomid!

Hoping you're right about the prog and femara! I HATE that I'm messing with my hormones at all here. I still don't understand how this was so easy before and now such a struggle... hubby's birthday is this week and he said no kids after 40. He's turning 37. I was dreaming of 3 and that's seeming like it's disappearing right along with all my other dreams!!

Also HUGE apologies in advance atomic. I ended up reading every femara post ever and commenting on a ton. I'm sorry, I don't expect you to answer them all! Blame my mania on the progesterone

ETA: I should note, too, that I've gotten crazy light lines on my HPTs from two diff packs. I showed Buro them yesterday and she saw it, but today's is barely any darker. I know about indent lines, so I don't know if I should view these as that or if this is the beginnings of yet another chemical... Eith a temp dip, this light of line on either 10 or 12DPO, I can't see how this is good at all.

Well it’s no problem at all TP- I’m glad to help! My sweet DD is the easiest of all my kids so far! I know it may change, but I’m sure thankful!

I had this happen to me with my DS2 and it drive me INSANE! I’m hoping that you are indeed pregnant! Let’s see what you temp does tomorrow. You may have a late implanter, hence that light lines right now.

🤞🏻

NO. I can say this definitively now. Progesterone DOES NOT sway pink. I am 1 million % convinced now. The "data" that did supposedly support this harebrained notion was entirely coming from one guy who was trying to support his own timing theory and not any good study done at all. And I have subsequently seen tons of people get short LP on LE Diet and get girls and tons of people see their LP get longer on HE and get boys! I have literally never had a short LP or low prog and I got 4 boys and several of our blue swayers have low prog and got girls. Seriously, the observations just don't support the theory, like, at all and given the paucity of data presented to "support" the "theory" I think you are a-Ok to try if you so choose

I do see a line and I want to float an idea here, which is that the low temps may be caused by a big hearty estrogen surge and NOT prog, since they do work together.

Thank you atomic. Two days later, my tests are all but white... looks like another chemical...

Hi All,

Does progesterone supplement taken vaginaly delays period?

From what I've been told, yes. Not everyone will have the delay, but some will.
