period come on progesterone?

in Trouble TTC
I've been on progesterone suppositories since 1 dpo. My doctor never stated anything about not getting my period until I stopped. Has anyone gotten their period while taking progesterone suppositories? My research online indicates some people do get their period, but most don't until they stop. I was hoping to get some feedback from the ladies on this board. Thanks.

Me: 33, DH: 32

TTC: 2 years
Fertility blood tests all normal
Tilted uterus
3 day ultrasound 17 follicles
HSG: 11/13/13- tubes open
DH SA: SUPER sperm (145 million, 84% motility, 22% morphology)
All infection disease and immunity blood tests NORMAL
FIRST IUI May 2014: 100 mg Clomid days 5-9, third ultrasound CD 13 revealed four follicles 27, 24 and 20 and 13mm. Trigger shot May 28 with IUI May 29 and 30 (fingers crossed) - BFN started spotting 11DPO :(

IUI #2 B2B 6/23 and 6/24, three mature eggs and 130 million sperm! FX this is the month!  BFN 7/8

3rd cycle benched due to cysts - TI with OPK tests -  BFN

3rd mediated cycle: Clomid+Trigger+TI  (three follies left side, one on right as usual....what the hell right ovary get it together and produce some damn follicles!) 7DPO progesterone level 43 with NO suppositories YAY for a natural strong ovulation. Beta canceled started spotting 13DPO - Third time is not a CHARM! 14 day cycle WTF! Everything looks normal - RE wants to start injectables next cycle so this cycle I'm benched

Officially benched until March....but still plan on trying the baking soda douche due to my excessive and thick CM

JANUARY SIGGY CHALLENGE...This is so me!

    I was on Endometrin suppositories for 3 cycles. 1st period came 3 days after I stopped. 2nd cycle it came while on them and I also had a cp that cycle, I was bleeding heavily had a positve test and on Endometrin. 3rd cycle my period came right on time while still on Endometrin.

    Fucking bump!!!!

    I think most of the time you have to stop taking the progesterone for your period to come. Mine came 4 or 5 days after I stopped the progesterone, which extended my LP by those 4-5 days. :-\

    I've used suppositories and Crinone, and AF comes while taking the meds for me. I still take a hpt before starting Femara just to be safe!

    Just roll with it and test by 13 or 14dpo, then stop the meds if negative (that's always my plan!).
    Married in 2006, TTC since Dec 2012
    Unexplained IF, Hypothyroidism

    IUI's 1 - 3: Femara + Ovidrel = BFN
    IUI's 4 - 5: Femara + Gonal F + Ovidrel = BFN

    IVF Jan 2015. 21R/18F/15 still growing on day 2
    Transferred two beautiful embies on day 2, beta 1/29

    I took it for the first time last cycle and I started my period after about 7 days.  Before even starting the progesterone, my RE said that if I started my period started before finishing the prescription, that was fine, and to quit taking the progesterone.  It had basically done it's job and caused my period to start.

    First cycle: AF came about 4-5 days after stopping oral progesterone
    Second cycle: AF started around 11th day of oral progesterone

    In my experience, it varies :-P

    I'm on day 8 after stopping progesterone and still have not gotten AF. I've never gotten it while taking it.

    Me: 31, PCOS

    2nd round of P4 to induce AF. Metformin 2,000mg daily x2months - no change.

    Medicated cycle #1 Femara 2.5mg x 5 days + Novarel = BFN.

    Benched to redo labs, trying new meds. Starting Clomid next cycle. 

    Some people just need a high-five...in the face...with a chair.

    Thanks everyone for your feedback. I just started spotting today, very lightly which I'm sure is the beginning of my period, but I'm going for my BETA since I'm just spotting. Yay for getting stuck in the arm for no reason!
