Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Sometimes after stopping the progesterone pills it may take around one week to get the periods.
So you wait for few more days possibly by that time you may get periods.
As you are having high prolactin levels, you have to take treatment for that also to get cured.
So if you do not get periods after 3 to 4 days also, you discuss this once with your doctor and proceed accordingly.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
