Hi, progesterone helps in implantation. But if you don't conceive, it delays your periods also. It may take 2 weeks to get your periods after stopping the progesterone. I think you can track your ovulation by ultrasound or by ovulation detection kits. If you are ovulating, then you can try naturally for 6 months before going for any evaluation. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days. You can continue taking progesterone for last 2 weeks of your cycle. Hope I have answered your question.
