@whileundergrace Let me know how it all goes!

@whileundergrace It’s likely that you ovulated late and you aren’t pregnant. But best to be sure!

@whileundergrace There is no way to know without a pregnancy test. IUDs are very effective. It’s very possible you ovulated late and that’s why your period is late. Do you live near a planned parenthood? You can get a test there for free. If you think you are pregnant then you should definitely...

@doema You should not take the progesterone pills. Ovulation causes your body to make progesterone. If your progesterone was tested outside of 5-8 days after ovulation, then progesterone levels would be low. And that’s true with anyone. If you want to know progesterone levels after ovulation...
