Hi there,
Hopefully someone will know about this. I've had two MC's so this cycle (of DIY donor insemination ie no drugs or medical intervention), my naturopath who specialises in fertility has prescribed a low dose of a homeopathic progesterone supplement. Currently 5 drops, 3x per day. I started taking it at 9dpo and am now 11dpo. My MCs were just on 12wks before so we don't think low progesterone was a factor but she's just being cautious.
I have read on some forums that it can mimic pregnancy symptoms (eg sore boobs), but wonder would such a low dose like this effect my BBT? As it has spiked this morning. But I did a test and got a bfn. I know it's quite early to test but I've had a +ve on 11dpo before.
Thanks, PB :-)

The Progesterone can def make you feel like you're pregnant, I had such sore boobs and there was no way I was pregnant because the embryo hadn't even gone back in at that stage!
But also you're on a low dosage so maybe and fingers crossed you are pregnant, just try and wait it out until 14DPO, good luck
