Talk to me about progesterone

So I am supposed to take 1 progesterone pill vaginally every night beginning Tuesday, for 2 weeks. Then he wants me to take an HPT. If I get a BFP, continue taking the progesterone. But if I get a BFN, he wants me to stop. My question is: How does the progesterone work if you are TTC, if it is also used to prompt AF in some women? I'm confused. Anyone know?

History of ENDO and ovarian cysts, currently have 1 Myoma on left ovary - but it's shrinking, yea! Clomid 100mg since Jan 2011, trigger 4/5, 1st IUI 4/7, 1 mature follie, progesterone = BFN
SHG 5/2 = all clear
IUI#2 on Mother's Day 5/8, no trigger, 2 mature follies, progesterone = BFN

    Thanks, kdodge! I took it with my last cycle (after my 1st IUI) and AF showed up the day I got my BFN. So that was the day I stopped taking the progesterone It just had me wondering why AF came so fast; I though it would come a few days after my BFN and stopping the progesterone. Hopefully, I won't need to stop taking it this cycle because I get my BFP.
