A member asked:
Opk should i take 200mg or wait 2 days to take progesterone? will progesterone hurt/stop ovulation if taken the first day of +opk or can it help.

Wait longer: Generally Progesterone should be supplemented only under a doctor's supervision to prevent confusion like this. Normal Progesterone levels do not rise until 3-5 days after lh surge, so starting earlier than this wouldn't really make sense. It's not likely to suppress ovulation, but will make the endometrium 'over mature' if started this early, which may stop implantation.
