Will Natural Progesterone Cream Stop My period?




I didn’t know that you needed to wait for a new cycle to start taking the progesterone cream, so I started it around CD 20. I am trying to conceive so I don’t want to screw that up. I usually ovulate around CD 11 and start spotting on CD 22. This is just an average and I lost my thermometer this month so I don’t know exact days at all. My period is due to start today (CD 26) and although I spotted since the 7th (CD 21) and a tiny bit yesterday, so far today nothing, no spotting at all. My temps are still up as well. I know that if I stopped using it and I WAS pregnant, which is pretty far fetched because I have been trying for quite some time with no luck, it could cause a miscarriage. Do I have to stop using it to have another period? Or do I stop taking it after my period starts? I am thinking I will wait until day after tomorrow if AF doesn’t show her ugly face by then and take a pregnancy test then either stop or continue using the cream depending on my pregnancy status. Does that sound right?

I started depo provera the 8th, when I first got my period. It’s not heavy, but very light. It only shows when I wipe and gets a tiny bit heavier towards night.

Could I be starting Menopause?

My husband and I did some infertility treatments over a year ago. And then decided to stop. Since then, Ive had very very irregular periods and skipped a couple periods.

Ive just turned 42, Im in good health, but Ive pretty much skipped the past two periods. In December I had just a spotting for a good 10 days, and then again here in January, it’s just spotting for 3 days. Ive had sort of Mild PMS type symptoms at all different times (rather than just before my period) my breasts have been tender off and on. It seems like I should be getting my period, but it’s just a tiny bit on the toilet tissue.

I dont really have hot flashes or vaginal dryness at all. But I just cant account for why my periods have begun to be so spotty. Could I be in menopause? Or starting menopause? It seems a bit early for that. Can women have menopause at my age?
Also.. has anyone else done fertility drugs and then had problems with their periods that lasted so long? Can fertility drugs cause me to begin menopause so early?
