A member asked:

My doctor has prescribed me progesterone tablets to help with luteal phase. how will this improve my chances of conceiving?

It will not.: Progesterone does not increase the likelihood of ovulating or conceiving - so there would be no impact on fertility.

A member asked:

Is a high level of progesterone in the luteal phase significant in anyway? My urine tests have been >30mcg/mL. Im using the Mira kit and this is higher than the chart accounts for. I know a luteal rise is normal, but this seems very high?
