Natural FET with progesterone support?

Hi- I’m due a natural FET soon, have been offered progesterone support from 2 days after LH peak. Are there any negatives to progesterone, aside from the side effects, as in can it affect success ? Clinic doesn’t test progesterone levels so won’t know that. Would you take it if I’m shoes? Thanks

There are no down sides to more progesterone. I dont know a single IVF clinic that doesnt prescribe it for a transfer.

I have done 2 natural FETs, with just a trigger and progesterone after ovulation, up until 9/12 weeks. My clinic doesnt test progesterone, because they ask you to take it.

Progesterone helps support pregnacies. A lack of it can affect success. Too much of it cant.

Thank you, that’s what I thought. How soon after ovulation did you start the progesterone?

2 days after the trigger, which was at LH peak, supposedly.
