He said to take it every night for twelve consecutive days. I did that and my last pill was last Monday. I still haven't started my period yet. Is that normal or should I call him?

Thanks in advance,

I just finished my second cycle of taking prometrium for 12 days. I'm taking it for 3 cycles to see if it helps my body get back to normal. My doctor believes the magic number is three cycles. It can take up to 2 weeks for your period to come after your last pill. My first cycle it came the next day after I stop the pills. This cycle, I had spotting on pill 6. My doctor said it might be my period and that is normal but I think my period is starting today. It's been three days since my last pill. I think what I had before was breakthru bleeding which I read is common on prometrium. I'm hoping this means it is starting to work. If my period is starting I'm suppose to call my doctor to let her know. Actually, it's the nurse practioner I've been talking to and dealing with. I'm ttc#2. I had problems with conceiving my daugher who is now 3. Michelle
