Dr. Audrey Prefer answered

Irregular = Late: You said you were Rx'd progesterone because of irreg mp's, then stopped the Rx and wonder where your period is, you did say irreg didn't you? I think you need to talk w/your prescriber, have them explain to you why you need progesterone, and you won't have to ask this question again. Good Luck
