Not only thinking it but the nurse said I probably wouldn't get a period on Progesterone. That it would probably prevent it. So that is why she said stop when I think I'll get my next period and test with an HPT. If pregnant continue suppositories, if not stop until after ovulation again.

I agree with you here, doesn't make too much sense if we are lenghtening it. Of course as always I can't speak with the Dr. She originally told me to start the suppositories on day 16 of my cycle no matter what. I called back and said I understood it was to be started after ovulation and I don't always ov on day 16 sometimes 17-18. Somehow I couldn't picture intercourse and suppositories? The nurse put me on hold while she checked with the Dr. and came back and said "yeah wait until you ovulate until you use them". Now I'm uncertain her about the other part when to stop them now that you mention it.

Yes had a endometrial biopsy on last Tues. They called this past Friday and said it all checked out ok including progesterone. He still wants me to try the suppositories to see if that will eliminate the 8dpo spotting. I was also told at the time of the biopsy to call back when I got my period to check the timing of the linning. The nurse told me when she called that would not be necessary. I thought that was the whole idea for having a biopsy done in the first place. Gosh where is Dr. Kelly when I need her. Hope she'll read today! Thanks for all your help Mary, I sooooo appreciate it :) Jenn
