Hi,
Use of progesterone can give you regular periods but does not induce ovulation. For this to happen, you should know where the defect is and try to correct it; a complete hormonal profile, physical exam, trans-vaginal sonogram and blood counts are necessary as is a tubal patency test. Management is based on the results obtained and hormonal supplementation is done as is necessary. Assessment of the male factor also is needed. Hope this helps.
