Hormone Q&A - Hormone Testing, Progesterone, and Breastfeeding While TTC

As a Woman

Dr. Natalie Crawford answers voicemail questions about hormones. 

Questions answered:

Should FSH, LH, and progesterone be tested during a fertility evaluation?

I have hypo hypo. Why is my period starting 12 days after my trigger shot, even though she is taking progesterone supplements? Is this normal or a concern?

Is breastfeeding once a day enough to impact fertility?
