View allI'm a bit confused and worried because my new doctor didn't give me progesterone after ovulation, which my previous doctors always did. I'm doing Timed IC this cycle and just had a trigger shot, and they've asked me to have intercourse for the next five days, but without progesterone. Is it still possible to conceive if I ovulated with letrozole but wasn't given progesterone?
conception is possible both with and without progesterone supplementation, but progesterone can help support early pregnancy. Be sure to stay in touch with your doctor and continue with your treatment as planned.

Can you recommend the best cooking oil for someone in my situation? Also, any advice on how to lose weight and reduce belly fat would be really helpful.
Limit usage of cooking oil and you can try olive oil and do physical excercises to reduce belly fat
