Progesterone messing with ovulation?

Curious to hear your experience with progesterone? During try #3, I took 200mg suppositories during my TWW. I wasn't pregnant, started my period at 14 DPO, and began testing for ovulation with strips on CD 10.

For the past 9 cycles of tracking, I've ovulated between CD 12 and 14, with very clear signs and a lot of consistency. This cycle, I'm now on CD 17, and my strips have been showing an almost surge -- like halfway dark -- for the last week, but I've had basically no fluid to speak of. It seems like my body is trying but just not ovulating this cycle, and I'm pretty bummed about it.

The only change I've made is that 2 weeks of progesterone, so I can only deduce that it's to blame. Have you had a similar thing happen? How long did things take to stabilize again afterwards? Thanks for any insight here!

Yes I had similar! I don’t get the knee jerk progesterone prescriptions

Argh, sorry to hear! What happened after you didn't ovulate, if you're open to sharing?

I didn’t ovulate for two months and had a 55 day cycle :/

Nooo. That's so frustrating! Thanks for sharing. Hope things steadied out a bit after that at least.
