How Long After Taking Progynova Will Bleeding Resume?

Posted on Thu, 25 Aug 2016

Question: Hello Doctor, I have gone through IUI process last month on July 11th with multiple eggs(3). And from 14th July I started taking Susten 200 vt vaginally daily 3 tablets per day.Also was taking Progynova 3 times a day.Today is my 20 DPO. My urine pregnancy tests are negative today but still dint get my periods and BBT is between 98.5 to 98.7. When I informed this to my doctor today she told to stop medication. Actually I stopped my medication on 14th DPO and 15th DPO but my doctor told to continue until today and check urine Preg test. So when can I expect my periods? because I dont have any pregnancy symptom. No sore breasts etc but have mild abdominal pain in between. I am due of 5 days from AF day.My last period date was XXXXXXX 28th.

Brief Answer:
IUI

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings
Since you were taking progynova (estrogen) and progesterone ,periods should resume within 7 days of stopping the tablets.
I feel you can wait for 5 more days and if no periods can consult your doctor.
Do not be disheartened by IUI failure.You should try consecutively 3 to 4 cycles.
Feel free to ask your doubts with more details

Thank you very much for your quick response doctor.

This is my 2nd IUI cycle and as you suggested will try for 2 more.
Will Basal Body Temperature(BBT) stay high with these medications?
Because I read that if BBT stays elevated for 18 days past ovulation, there are good chances for pregnancy.And all these days my BBT was high and never dropped out.But I assumed it is due to medication.Is that so?

Hi
Yes ,you are right.Because you were taking progesterone it was maintained so.In natural cycles that is applicable. Hope you are convinced. Regards
