After taking the progesterone capsule, why is my period delayed by three days? Is it because of the medication?

Patient's question:

Previously, the cycles were normal, but the menstrual flow was light. Following medical advice, I took a box of Fertilex and Progesterone Capsules, as well as traditional Chinese medicine. This month, my period is delayed by three days. Is this due to the effect of the medication? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description. Progesterone has the effect of stimulating libido and also has the effect of delaying menstruation, with specific effects depending on the dosage taken.
Advice: If you want to delay your menstruation, take 12 milligrams daily. Specifically, you need to check how many milligrams are in each progesterone capsule you take. Continue taking it until the day you want your period to start. After stopping, your menstrual cycle will return to normal within 3 to 5 days. Hope this helps you.
