Does progesterone shots prevent AF from showing up?

Post by 4yearstrying »

I'm 13 DPT and just got a negative HPT, however I have no signs of AF showing up. Does progesterone shots prevent AF from coming??

Hi there and welcome to the Site. Progesterone can both delay, and bring AF on early. It totally messes up your cycle.

Have you tested before your official test date ? Many girls on here have tested early with hpts and got -ve results, only to go on to get a BFP )big fat positive) the following day. 24 hours can really make the difference, so if you are early, pls don't give up.

rk ... If your clinic have told you to test on 30th, this is when you should test. Testing earlier only brings heartache ... if it's a negative result, you're still left in doubt 'cos you tested early.

Good luck for 30 July rk !
