Taking progesterone before starting IVF

Hi everyone

I'm taking progesterone for luteal phase support (only one pessary a day) and just wondering if it will definitely prevent my period from coming until I stop taking it? I've taken it for two cycles previously and it has stopped it both times, but I'm feeling worried as I'm starting IVF next cycle and need to make sure I have time to get medication ordered after a negative test but before my baseline scan!

Any help is much appreciated :)

For me it doesn’t stop it and that was on twice a day.
