Progesterone blood work tomorrow

I've been waiting on my period to start so I can schedule my HSG test.  My period has been late before, but it is been over 60 days late this time.  I called my RE and she said to come in for blood work to test if I have ovulated this month.  If not, she is going to call in a prescription to my pharmacy to kick start my period.  Has anyone had this before?  Will the medication they give me make my periods extra heavy?  BTW - PCOS stinks!

    I was on BCP for 12 years until Hubby and I started trying for a family.  When I was on BCP, my periods were regular and very light.  Now, they are sporadic, painful, and sometimes heavy.

    I have taken provera before to start my period after 90 days with no period! It wasn't any heavier than usual though. I did take the pills in the evening because they made me a little nauseated. Good luck!

    I also have PCOS and have not noticed a difference between the periods induced on Provera and those I used to get when I was on BCP.

    1 cycle Letrozole 7.5 mg + 150 mg Follistim + Ovidrel + TI

    1 cycle Letrozole 7.5 mg + 150 mg Folistim + Ovidrel + IUI

    1 cycle Letrozole 7.5 mg + 150 mg Follistim  - no response, repeated Letrozole 7.5 mg + 150 mg Follistim + Ovidrel + IUI = success! 12/2014

    I guess I am the odd ball here....when my AF is induced by Provera it is a beast. I mean she doesn't even knocking before coming, so no spotting just full force flow. I have also found that my flow is heavier and more cramping as well.

    But normal AF after ovulation is not like this at all and it only last for like 3 days.
