Cyclogest - some advice needed

[Ellsiedodah]

Hi all, I'm going to be doing IUI next month and have been prescribed cyclogest pessaries to try to extend my very short luteal phase. It dawned on me that I could try taking it this month for my home insems and they've agreed to send me a prescription for 400 once a day - BUT I don't know exactly when I ovulate because my hormones are all over the place (AMH v low) (their nurses said throw away the wee sticks and just do the inseminations every 2 days). Has anyone received any very specific advice about taking this for extending luteal phases and does it matter if you miss the first day for example? I won't get the chance to speak to one of their docs so wondered if anyone else could advise from experience. Thanks!

Hi OP I have a 9/10 day LP and after our FET was cancelled during the first lock down my clinic gave me utrogestan pessaries to use for a few natural cycles while we were waiting for them to reopen. I start it on the evening of the second day after ovulation (1 pessary) and then use 3 per day, so 600mg per day until 14 dpo. Take a test at 14dpo then stop if BFN. I will normally bleed then within 48 hours.
