Early Ovulation / Low Progesterone?

Sorry this will be a long one.

I normally have a 25 day cycle with ovulation on Day 11. Ovulation was as early as CD7/8 but managed to get ovulation to CD11 with B6.

I had a mc and didn’t see AF for 18 weeks, then had a 15 day cycle.

For my second cycle I started temping with Ovusense and also put my temps in to FF. FF said ovulation on CD9 (despite the B6) and Ovusense said CD11, I think Ovusense is wrong. AF arrived on CD23 but my temps dropped slowly over the course of a few days. Would this indicate low progesterone?

Is there any way of delaying ovulation other than with B6? I have progesterone suppositories for when I have a BFP but if it’s dropping before surely I need something to help boost it in the luteal phase?

I’d just like a normal length cycle to give me the best shot. I’ve had 4 chemicals and the mmc in 18 months.

Attached my 2 charts.

I'm sorry for your losses, I've not long had my 4th. I have cyclogest to take from ovulation now, but have previously taken it from 7dpo - is it possible for you to start it before a bfp?
I also have short cycles, usually ovulate around 10dpo, but this cycle (my second after my mmc in October) I've not had a surge yet.

Good luck x

Sorry for your losses @VenusStarr. I recognise your name. I think we’ve commented on each other’s posts before.

I’ve asked my rmc nurse if there is anything I can do and sent her my chart. Due to ovulated Christmas Day but might be earlier if this last cycle is to go by. Already had some ewcm today and it’s only CD5!

Aiming to DTD every day leading up and might start the progesterone at 7DPO if the nurse doesn’t come back to me.

Fingers crossed for you and hope you get your surge soon x

Good luck @TTCROYGBIV 🤞 were doing every other day, it's a bit stressful this cycle for me and I'm not in the best headspace really. I think I missed my surge, but we're going to carry on until I'm confident it's passed, so I think I'll be starting the cyclogest later than planned. In my last pregnancy I took it from 7dpo and everything was good - it's my body that is the issue, I was recently diagnosed with aggressive nk cells, so on a plan to suppress my immune system now.

I realised I missed part of your OP, I found when I took a high dose of evening primrose oil it delayed my ovulation, if I take 1000mg up to a day or so before I think I'm due to ovulate it seems to not have an effect, but the first month I tried it I took the maximum dose and it pushed it back about 5 days!

@VenusStarr interesting about the EPO. I started taking that a few days ago, 1000 ones. Hopefully it will bump things back a bit.

Started using my Ovusense again last night and had my lowest ever temp since using it this morning, about .2c less than last cycle on that CD. But I’ve also had lots of watery and EWCM streaked with old blood so seriously hoping it isn’t ovulation just yet as only CD6.

I’m also not in the headspace, haven’t been for a couple of months. The mc and absent AF went on for far too long and I had a tube infection in that time and just my sex drive has plummeted because of it.

I no longer know what my body is doing!

Hope you get there soon x
