Does Progesterone Help In Correcting Ovulation Issues To Avoid Miscarriage ?

My dr prescribed 100mg of progesterone to start taking on day 16 of my cycle. This was after my first round of 50mg of clomid which I started on day 3-7 of cycle. I ovulated on day 15 and my dr seems to think I have an ovulation issue. He says by me taking the progesterone this will help to avoid a miscarriage. I don't understand why he thinks I have an ovulation issue being that I ovulated on day 15 and if it was necessary to prescribe the progesterone...thoughts?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Progesterone doesn't help in correcting ovulation issues, but it helps in supporting pregnancy if it occurs. You can take it as advised by your doctor.
Wish you good health.
