A few months back I started doing BBT charting, and my first month of charting I noticed that I had a rather short luteal phase which was really surprising to me because my menstrual cycles are so long (they typically are around 32 to 35 days but vary month to month). What I discovered is that it's because my follicular phase is longer than most women's (mine are usually 18 to 21 days). When I saw that my luteal phase was only 10 days, I wanted to increase this to 14 days because longer luteal phases around that mark is a good sign that your body is producing enough progesterone and your corpus luteum (where most of your progesterone is produced) is adequately nourished. This is also helpful when doing an NBE program.
So what I started doing was during luteal I take a Vitamin B complex with added Vitamin C (Solgar's Stress Formula) every day and I drink a couple bags of Bust tea by Greenbush religiously. Now my luteal phase so far has been lasting exactly 14 days. I of course have other things I take throughout the month as part of my NBE program, but I really do believe that these two things combined are how I got my luteal phase to lengthen out. I've already posted numerous studies on Vitamin B and Vitamin C showing to raise progesterone, so that's not surprising. But with the tea, it has a lot of different herbs that I think really helped me to get a longer luteal (especially the dill in it, which I've also posted studies on).
So yes, I do believe it's totally possible to raise your progesterone naturally. There are so many different ways to do it, I've listed so many, but these are the two methods I've chosen for my program and they have really worked for me!
