I think I've got low progesterone - cant believe it! What causes it?

You can take it until you're ready to TTC, then you need to go off of it.

What I would do is do diet pretty strictly for 4-6 weeks before coming off the pill and then stop the pill and pull out all the stops to get pg that first month. Don't mess around with frequency, jelly, jump and dump, etc. Just let the diet and the pills do the swaying for you.

Even if there's nothing to the prog = pink idea, there do seem to be more girls conceived after coming off the pill (with plenty of exceptions.)

Atomic, can i not do jump and dump? I think i might need to do that trick as DH has "healthy libido" (he proudly says this out loud everyday, believe it or not... and he also says he likes to take care of himself in the bathroom when I'm not in the mood ) thus I'm afraid his spermies (x and Y overall) are just way too much and that incrases the likelihood of Y sperms winning the race to the egg. LOL.

It's your choice of course, I'm just saying that every thing you do reduces odds of pg by a bit and so if you had an ideal situation for swaying pink, you might not want to waste it by doing a lot of other sway factors.

I know it´s an old thread, but I found it very interesting, and have a few questions?

-would you recomend to do it (what you wrote above) with pill or with minipill?
- If I were a few months taking pill/minipill before TTC, what supps should I avoid? No vitex, no saw palmetto, no antihistaminics?
-Do you think the effect of the thickness of CM due to de pill/minipill could be better to sway pink , than the effect of antihistamincs?
Sorry in advance if there´s already an essay about pills/minipills and how they sway and how we can take them to sway. If so, if someone could link it here, would be great! Thanks a lot!!!

Sorry, one more question... how many months in advance would you recommend to take the pill/minipill before TTC?
Would be safe to take it the month of the attemp and "forget" taking them starting from CD 8-10 ? (to get the maximum of the pill effects in body like hostile CM, and altered hormones...)
Thanks again!

1)Either pill or minipill.

2)Yes, those three supps should be avoided.

3)I do think it may be better coming off the pill, but everyone is affected differently. Some people may even end up unable to conceive for a few months after stopping the pill becasue it affects them so strongly.

No essay, there should be but haven't had time unfortunately.

1)I would say at least 2 months, the more the better.

2)No, you shouldn't take the pills the month of your attempt. It will delay O and make things very confusing.

Thank you, I appreciate people bumping threads up for me. I'm trying to get everything answered in a timely manner but have a lot going on! (the baby is very good but my little sons have been very difficult the last 6 weeks or so.)
