What Are The Chances Of Conceiving Naturally?

i have an exact 30 day cycle. My doctor says i have low progesterone levels so she has prescribed me Duphaston for every cycle from day 18 for 10 days (earlier she gave me from day 16). I have already undergone 5 cycles of clomid with the last cycle after a gap of 2 months. She didnt give me ovulation injection on both 4 th and 5 th cycles as she said there were too many immature follicles and she doesnt want any hyperstimulation. I am also on Glucophage since last 2 months. She says that she will try injectibles now after a gap of 2 months. My query is that even after taking duphaston my period arrives at exactly 30 days to my last period and not before that as my doctor says. She says it should come withing 2-3 days of Duphaston. Also she has advised me to try on my own for the next 2 months. What are my chances of concieving and what are the best days of conception? Is it ok to take duphaston from day 18th? or should it be delayed so that it doesnt coincide with day of my ovulation? i have heard that with clomid ovulation is delayed. Is it true? This month i took clomid and doc said the follicles were 6 in number and immature the biggest being 12 mm on 11 day ultrasound. Should i try conceiving this month or not?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
- You are taking Duphaston from 18th day for 10 days.. that is up to 28th day.. & you get your period on 30 th day. So it's after 2-3 days of finishing Duphaston It's normal.. you will not have period if you conceive( in this case Dupaston needs to be continued after confirmation of pregnancy )
-Duphaston is to be started after ovulation. If you have 30 days cycle, your ovulation would around 16th day. So it's OK to start it from 17-18th day of period.
- Biggest ovum on 11th day of menses is 12mm. If the hormones are alright it will have optimum growth till ovulation ( 24- 30 mm).
You can definitely try for pregnancy this time. You can estimate ovulation day be follow up USG scan till 16th day/ LH surge test to know it exactly.
Thanks.
