I'm really confused right now. My pregnancy test came back negative after doing IUI, but I still haven't gotten my period. Should I stop taking progesterone, or is there something else I should consider?

If your pregnancy test is negative after IUI and your periods have not started, it is safe to stop taking progesterone. Progesterone is usually prescribed to support early pregnancy, so if you are not pregnant, there is no need to continue taking it.
