We definitely discussed my period and next cycle and we are TTC so not having a period at all isn't what we're going for. The after hours line is only for emergencies and I don't think this qualifies as an emergency. I'm thinking about not taking it through the weekend and seeing if AF shows. </p> <p>@lovelyplum Since this isn't it, I'm hoping to get the show on the road. Hoping next month is my month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-and-cycle-length#post-760389 Fri, 03 May 2013 17:09:01 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 760389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: It can lengthen LP. My Dr. gave me and RX to take my caps CD 16-25 because I have a 28 day cycle. By day 28 I start AF.</p> <p>I would call and talk to your Dr. &amp; talked to the nurse about it. I don't think you are suppose to take it everyday, otherwise AF would never come. Your body needs your progesterone to drop in order to get start a new cycle. </p> <p>FYI watch out for mood swings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-and-cycle-length#post-760378 Fri, 03 May 2013 17:03:24 +0000 sweetooth 760378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: It's confusing to me too because I thought progesterone prevented a period from happening. But as spaniellove said, some people still bleed even when they are on it. Is there an after hours line you can call at your doctor's office? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-and-cycle-length#post-760356 Fri, 03 May 2013 16:39:50 +0000 spaniellove 760356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: Err...I think it's fine to stop it when you've confirmed a BFN. The first time I used it somehow I started bleeding early through it, but after that I stopped with a negative beta at 14 dpo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-and-cycle-length#post-760350 Fri, 03 May 2013 16:35:30 +0000 mrs. 64 760350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: When did they tell you to stop taking it? Now I'm worried I'm doing something wrong by continuing to take it and should stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-and-cycle-length#post-760349 Fri, 03 May 2013 16:34:33 +0000 mrs. 64 760349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: After poking around on the internet, I'm seeing most people say they were instructed to stop the progesterone and then they got their period within a couple of days, like you said. Now I'm confused. I' wondering if she told me the wrong thing/forgot to tell me or if I was so shaken up by being diagnosed with potential endometriosis that I wasn't listening properly. :( Of course I didn't think about this until after close of business on Friday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-and-cycle-length#post-760346 Fri, 03 May 2013 16:33:30 +0000 spaniellove 760346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It can take a few days after you stop the progesterone for AF to arrive. Basically AF is triggered by the drop in hormones, which is also how Provera works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-and-cycle-length#post-760330 Fri, 03 May 2013 16:25:04 +0000 LovelyPlum 760330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it can lengthen your LP (but don't quote me on that...)</p> <p>Either way, I'll cross my fingers that you're late for more fun reasons :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-and-cycle-length#post-760329 Fri, 03 May 2013 16:25:03 +0000 sweetooth 760329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on progesterone after my IUI cycles and I never got my period until I stopped the progesterone. And even then, it still took another 3-4 days for it to show. I definitely found that progesterone made my cycles longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-and-cycle-length#post-760320 Fri, 03 May 2013 16:20:36 +0000 mrs. 64 760320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does progesterone make your cycle longer? My doctor put me on it this month for suspected endometriosis and told me to take it until I got my period. I'm 3 days late and BFN. I've been pretty much like clockwork the last few months. Just wondering if this is a side effect of the med? </p>
