Period with progesterone pessaries?

10 Replies

Hi ladies. So we are 15dp iui and have been taking progesterone pessaries. My period is a day late. Ive read that progesterone can delay your period and add to the heart ache. Has anybody had any other experience with progesterone?

Thank you

Thanks Elma. It was hard for me 1st week, I was so sure it worked. I feel much better now. I have 3 frozen embryos so will try again. I just hope my period comes soon🤷‍♀️

Good luck for the future!!!x

When are you supposed to be testing? The progesterone is supposed to prevent the lining shedding (some women will experience spotting or proper bleeding on them but it shouldn't happen). You won't get your period until you've stopped the pessaries x

My ivf failed, my period was a week later than usual, it started a couple of days after I stopped the pessaries . Whilst using progesterone ignore normal cycle and it can affect it both ways, delay or bring on your period xx

Unfortunately it does, my hospital doesn't pregnancy test till 16 days after ET. I then did a home test on the day which was negative but still had to go get a blood test done as well to confirm. I wish you all the best and really hope that your get your BFP!! Xxx
