Luteal Phase Defect - Page 2

I found it very easy to lengthen my luteal phase with the vitamin B6 and the progesterone cream. There are some who feel the progesterone cream doesn't do anything; however, in my belief it does help. My luteal phase increased from 13 to 15 days while using the cream. I use a cream with natural progesterone in it called Emerita Progest Cream. I use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon twice a day after ovulation on my inner arm, inner thighs, belly, chest and neck - alternating the locations each time. The cream will not halt menstruation from occurring if pregnancy is not achieved. I use the cream to 16 days post ovulation when my menstruation starts.

If you think you have a luteal phase defect--you find out through charting and knowing the exact day of ovulation--the measures to take to correct the deficiency are up to you. I personally did not ask my doctor before taking the vitamin B6 or the progesterone cream; however, it would be smart to seek their advice first.
