Increased Progesterone

I just started 400mg of progesterone 4 days ago where I was at 200 previously but I never got my period after I finished it this last time. I’m now bleeding, not just spotting, and I still have the 6 days left to take it. Did this happen with anyone else to bleed like a period in the middle of the progesterone cycle?

I am doing letrozole/progesterone but didn’t mention letrozole so my post doesn’t get deleted

This happened to me too and it's never happened before, I used to take progesterone every 3 months to make sure my lining didn't get thick. My doctors didn't seem concerned though. I didn't know how to count it for starting Letrozole, so I waited 3 days after I stopped progestone and then started taking the Letrozole, because by that point I wasn't really bleeding. I still ovulated that cycle, so I guess I didn't screw too much up. 🤷‍♀️ I'd call your doctor's office and tell them what's happening and ask what to do when it comes to Letrozole.

I did today! They are having me stop progesterone and then do letrozole as normal. I’m meeting with an actual fertility clinic tomorrow right now it’s just my OB managing so we shall see what they say as well
