Help w progesterone cream

[Maddalena]

I went of the crap the Dr gave me and used a pump of the natural progesterone cream on the inside of my arms today. Now, I forgot...how much, how often, where to apply it and when. Anyone know?

I think it is dime size two times a day, change locations every day.

inner arms, inner thighs, belly, alternate the areas and do it twice a day. I used between a nickel and quarter size.

That's what I do. Twice a day. I started after O (i started the day after but Ive since read you should wait 3), got a bfp by first cycle ttc (after a mc + 3 months break), and kept using it. 9 weeks tomorrow. My second loss happened around this time but I'm feeling good now. Anyone know how long I should keep using it?

I've read until at least 12 weeks but also read till at least the end of the second trimester

Have you considered asking a doctor to monitor your progesterone level? That would let you be confident that your placenta has kicked in on progesterone production before discontinuing the supplementation. They might also be able to prescribe an oral or injectable form of bioidentical progesterone that will give you more reliable dosing. So sorry for your losses but glad that this one is feeling good!
