I found this on the web for increasing progesterone. I think I am low in p so I'll probably do this for the next cycle but this can be done just during luteal too.

This site says (and includes studies to back up their info):
These methods have been shown effective for increasing progesterone levels:
750 mg vitamin C per day (increased progesterone 77% and improved fertility)
600 mg vitamin E (increased progesterone in 67% of patients)
6 g L-arginine (increased progesterone in 71% of patients)
Increasing beta carotene (boosts progesterone levels in dogs and goats)
Increasing vitamin B6
Supplementing with Vitex Agnus Castus (increases progesterone and fertility)
120 mg Black Cohosh on days 1 to 12 (increases progesterone and fertility)
Supplementing with selenium
Consuming dairy products (shown to raise progesterone in men)
Weight loss
Avoiding overeating
Improving insulin sensitivity (metformin increases progesterone levels 246%)
Replacing saturated fat in the diet with unsaturated fat
80mg progesterone cream (shown to be as effective as 200 mg oral progesterone prescription)
Eating a high protein, low carbohydrate diet
Lowering TSH levels in subclinical hypothyroidism
The only one I did not agree with is the black cohosh. I have seen conflicting studies on it so I personally would not use it. I have read that it does not have any effects on LH and can increase estrogen. Also, the study that the article cites was done by giving women black cohosh AND clomid so it could have been the clomid that caused them to ovulate and not the black cohosh.
But the Vitamin E one is actually very interesting. Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of vit e which I think is why they are part of the seed rotation in that video. ALSO, I cant remember the user's name on here, but she posted a video about making your own breast cream and she added PM, fenugreek, fennel and a few other things to it but the video said to use a VITAMIN E cream. Coincidence?? Or maybe they're on to something
For those that may not know this or simply forgot, vitamin E has a lot of health benefits but the main one is its antioxidant properties.
Taken from the web:
Antioxidants remove free radicals — the unstable compounds that damage the cell structure. Immunity levels improve when vitamin E is consumed. Another important benefit of vitamin E is that it reduces cholesterol and the risk of developing cancer.
So vitamin E can help increase progesterone levels AND it helps your body build healthy cell structures for bigger boobies!
