    For me, they did. When I was doing IUI and on prometrium, AF didn't show up until 2 days after stopping.

    For me it is delayed. However, because my clinic makes me wait so long for beta, I have actually never made it to beta without AF showing up even with the supplements.  I would say they delay it about two days for me, but then AF just breaks on through. 

    In other situations where I have stopped progesterone for one reason or another, AF has showed up about two or three days later.

    When I was having late (and presumably weak) ovulations, no it didn't delay AF, though sometimes it would be lighter the first day or two than usual. Once I started fertility drugs, they definitely delay my AF until a few days after stopping the supplements.
