I have been doing some reading about luteal phase defect, and I want to approach my doctor about looking into progesterone supplementation. I have a couple of real basic questions first, though.

1) My LP is short, but my temps have been very decent. Can a progesterone problem be reflected simply by a shortened LP, or do the typical low LP temps always play a part as well?

2) Can I expect my OBGyn to be willing to try progesterone supplementation ASAP based on my chart history, or is extensive testing and an RE referral necessary first? I just wonder what the usual protocol is... I'm not even sure how much an OBGyn can do for someone with difficulty ttc when compared to an RE. I'll be seeing my OBGyn on cd14, right before my usual date of ovulation... the timing couldn't be better to try progesterone.

Thanks in advance for any input...
