What happens if you don’t get your period after taking progesterone?
The early flow is a sign that your body is making high levels of estrogen that are over-stimulating the endometrium ( uterus lining) and causing heavy bleeding. If you have not started to flow within 2 weeks of taking cyclic progesterone /MPA, it means your own estrogen levels are low.
