Today is the 19th day of my cycle. Should I start now, or would it be better to wait until the next cycle?

Progesterone is usually taken after ovulation. In general, taking it on cycle day 19 can be fine if you’re confident you ovulated. May I ask why you’re considering taking it? I’m here to help.

May I ask why it was prescribed for you? I have luteal phase deficiency; my doctor prescribed Utrogestan, which I took from cycle day 16 through day 25. I hope that helps.

Yana Osadchaya I have low progesterone. My levels are low from cycle day 14 through cycle day 25.

Gala Your progesterone looks low in the second (luteal) phase. At 7 days past ovulation (7 DPO), the level was 5.71. This may be lower than expected — consider discussing the result with your healthcare provider to interpret it and talk about next steps.

Your progesterone level is normal for this day of your cycle. Why take it? 🤔 It's a little low, but not critically low )

Elena Also, progesterone levels can be misleading when they're within the normal range because they fluctuate throughout the day. For example, yours might be 5 in the morning and 15 by the afternoon. Please don't worry — a single measurement doesn't tell the whole story.

Elena I'm feeling confused and worried. My doctor said my levels are low and that I need support. Who should I trust? 🤷

Elena Then follow the doctor's advice))) I thought you had decided to drink on your own) If the doctor recommended it, it's best to follow their recommendations 😊

Elena No, no. I had the test done on his recommendation because I have a history of a missed pregnancy. I'm planning to try again now and need to get checked — I haven't had this testing before.

If pregnancy is possible and your progesterone is low, I'd err on the side of caution and consider starting progesterone. An ultrasound can often estimate whether hormone levels are sufficient by looking at the size of the corpus luteum. It's a good idea to discuss this with your doctor to be sure.

Rimma Yes, that's right — progesterone nourishes the corpus luteum and helps it grow.

Natalya I think I posted something earlier, but I’ve already forgotten which day of my cycle it’s supposed to be taken.

There's nothing wrong with him; there's no point in inventing diagnoses.
The doctor needs to prescribe something—you came here for treatment, so they're prescribing 'harmless' hormones.
The mechanism in a missed miscarriage is somewhat different.
They told you there was low progesterone; especially the test suggested it was low, so they added it just in case.
But in practice, this can have the opposite effect.
After implantation, the embryo should stimulate the corpus luteum to produce progesterone until about 7 weeks, thereby providing the conditions for a successful implantation and development.
But the embryo turned out defective, and depending on the severity of the defect, it may detach at week 4 or at week 7.
