Hi,
Thanks for the query.
After taking progesterone pills sometimes it may take around 7 days for onset of withdrawal bleeding.
If you want to rule out the possibility of pregnancy better to go for blood test for pregnancy.
Which will give more accurate result than urine test.
If the result comes negative you wait for 4 more days possibly by that time you may get withdrawal bleeding.
If you do not get withdrawal bleeding even after that better to undergo ultrasound which will possibly detect the cause for withdrawal bleeding like poly cystic disease etc, and treatment can be taken accordingly.

Take care.
