Trouble TTC

Progesterone question - When did AF arrive?

For those of you who have taken progesterone during the 2ww, how long has it taken for AF to arrive after you stopped taking it?  I stopped taking prometrium on Thursday and am getting a little annoyed with AF.  Even Vodoo Tampon hasn't helped. 

This is my second time on progesterone (used endometrin the first time and this time I also took estrace with the prometrium).  Last time, AF arrived the day after I stopped the progesterone. 

DH is out of state for work and this is really messing with his ability to be home for O and a possible IUI.  Ugh.  Come on 2012, you're supposed to be so much better than 2011 and this isn't a great start.

Re: Progesterone question - When did AF arrive?

  • I think it depends. I always got mine while still on prometrium, but I have trouble maintaining p4. Give it a few days and if you don't get it, call your RE. Good luck!!

  • Within 24-36 hours, but I kind of sucked at remembering to take it :P

  • It may be the estrace delaying it. I take 2 days of estrace at the end of my 2ww to combat my hormonal migraines and was told it could mess with af. Def call if you don't get it tomorrow.

    I wondered whether the estrace could be part of the problem.  I stopped taking it when I stopped the prometrium.  Is there anything they can do?

    Honestly I'm not sure. I usually stop my prometrium after the night of 13 dpo if 14dpo test is neg and then start spotting the next day.
