» mail1 - determing the luteal phase
how can you know that you have a low progesterone level? is that related to your luteal phase? or the cycle? My cycle varies 22 to 25 days; how can I calculate my luteal phase?Also if the discharge becomes egg white and stretchy that means that you are ovulating?-- posted by mail1

In response to message posted by mail1:Hi,
The best way to tell if you have low progesterone is by charting. If you luteal phase is below 10 days, if your post-ovulation temperatures are below the cover-line, if you have spotting - any of these can indicate possible low progesterone. You can also purchase a hormone kit and have your saliva tested. These are for sell on several websites.
You calculate your luteal phase by charting - my earlier articles are on charting basics. And yes, the clear stretchy cervical fluid is fertile and ovulation is impending.

In response to message posted by babyinme:Hi Lori!
I was reading your article on Happy PMS Cream and wondering if it may be a good idea for me. I am 29 years old and have been trying to conceive for about 6 months now (with no luck). I have pretty irregular cycles, but have determined that my luteal phase is pretty consistent at 9 days. I haven't talked to my gynecologist about this yet, as my appt. with him isn't until April 28th, but I'm trying to do anything I can to help in getting pregnant! Are there any negative effects that the Progesterone Cream could have if I were to use it? (that you know of..) Any suggestions you may have would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!!

Hi,
Well, I highly recommend using the cream because it works so well for me. It's helped me to conceive, to carry to term, with post partum depression and PMS. There are no adverse effects from using it. Feel free to email me if you have more questions about it - babyinme@suite101.com .
