Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should take progesterone even if you are in your periods.
Most common cause for irregular menses in PCOD (poly cystic ovary syndrome) is hormonal imbalance.
So progesterone pills are needed to normalize hormonal imbalance.
Once your hormones are normalize, you will have normal periods.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
