A member asked:
I haven't had period for 6 months. will taking progesterone induce my period? will i ovulate after?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe and no: A course of Progesterone (5-7 days) may cause menstruation in certain situations and it is actually a test to troubleshoot lack of menstruation. However Progesterone cannot cause ovulation.
