Do Proluton Depot Injections Affect The Menstruation Cycle?

default
Posted on Sat, 6 Dec 2014
Question: Hi Doctor,
I got IUI on 3rd November. Doctor gave me proluton depot injection on that day after IUI. She asked me to get another injection after one week. So I did. She asked me to take third proluton injection on 17th November if my Urine pregnancy test is positive. My urine test was negative on 17th and 20th as well. But my period doesn't come yet. Please tell me whether my two proluton depot injection interfere my menstrual cycle and can prevent my ovulation in next cycle. When can I try IUI again?
