Hey I have a few questions for you Bug.
First of all, I should give you a little history. When I was 17, I hadn't ever had a period. Well, I went to the dr. and she put me on a 10 day dose of progesterone. She said I should get AF 10-14 days AFTER the last dose, so like 20-24 days after I started taking it. Well, I got AF 3 days into taking it. I finished off the 10 days anyway, that's what dr. told me to do. That is the only time I've had AF without being on the pill, she had me start bcp right away and I've been on them ever since.

The more I read, the more I could compare it to myself (i.e. low sex drive, pre-term labor, unsensitive breasts, low temps, miscarriage, mood swings, etc) Since adding in progesterone things have been much better in my life. That one hormone makes such an emotional and physical difference in my body.

okay, all those symptoms (except miscarriage and pre-term labor) describe me to a T. So I'm wondering, can you take progesterone even if you're not preg? Is it beneficial to do so? I've never had my levels checked, but I have an appt. with my doc on tuesday, so I want to ask her about this, but I don't know what questions to ask. I know she wants to test my hormone levels, but she wants to take me off the pill first, which I want to do anyway. So are there any questions I should ask her? Thanks for your help
