Brief Answer:
Wait for few more days

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic. mI understand your anxiety about the issue but gestin is a progesterone commonly used for supporting pregnancy but also helps in bringing periods.
So don't keep any hesitation in your mind.
Wait for another 5 days as it can take 7-10 days for periods to resume after stopping this medicine.
Take care
Regards
Dr Manisha

Brief Answer:
Increased by 5%

Detailed Answer:
Yes your doctor is right in telling you that bit the chances are around 5% increased do not much.
But chances of conception are increased from 5-6% to straight 20-25% which are a lot.
So kind of benefits outweigh risk type situation is there in your case.
