What Causes Delay In Menstrual Bleeding While On Progesterone Injections?

I had endometriosis surgery in November 2016. I had a regular period in December and then did not have period till I was put on progesterone in March. I then had period at right time and then was told to start clear blue digital ovulation tests. I got a positive result and had intercourse as directed. I am now 4 days late on period and have negative pregnancy tests.

Hi, I think if your pregnancy test is negative, you can wait for one more week and repeat the test.. If it is negative again, you can take some medicines like meprate or deviry for inducing periods. It can happen due to some stress factor or hormonal imbalances. I think you can try for 6 months naturally if you are ovulating normally. If it doesn't work, you can go for ovulation induction with timed intercourse. Hope it helps.
