A member asked:
On a 10-day progesterone med to start my period and should get it w/in 5 days after last pill. just got my period on day 3. do i keep taking the meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: When i give my patients Progesterone to bring on a period i recommend that they finish the pills, even if the period starts while still taking the medication. Taking all the pills makes it more likely that the medication will cause all the lining of the uterus to shed appropriately.
