Does progesterone stop your period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: If you have had abnormally prolonged bleeding, Progesterone may stop the bleeding in many cases. Prolonged Progesterone treatment (like with the Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud) may prevent periods. However, if you do not ovulate on your own and miss a period for several months, Progesterone can start your period. It is best to review your particular situation with your doctor.

I took 800mg of progesterone a day to make my period stop and my boyfriend went from enamored to repulsed by me that week. He has no idea why. I took it so we could have sex but that backfired. So I want to know if my hormones can deter him from sex?
