Some women have regular bleeding on the progestin-only pill, and some do not. Women on the mini-pill or progestin-only pill take an active pill every day; there is no pill-free interval. The medication's chief side effect and main reason for discontinuation is irregular spotting or lack of withdrawal bleeding (i.e. bleeding like a period). Neither the spotting nor the lack of withdrawal bleeding are a sign of pregnancy, unless you've missed or been late with pills, or unless you've had regular bleeding for a few months followed by a missing period.

Which is safer to regulate your period the birth control pill or progesterone?
Both are safe and effective to use to regulate your period. There are many types of birth control pills and some only contain progesterone (POP's) and some are combinations of progesterone and estrogen. Progesterone only pills are still birth control pills. Birth control pills, containing progesterone only or a combination of progesterone and estrogen will regulate your period and protect your from pregnancy! However, you must take your pills everyday and at the same time, otherwise your period will not regulate and you will put your risk of becoming pregnant. For further information on which type of pill is right for you, you must visit a physician (example; Planed Parenthood), and they will choose which method is right for you.
What causes your period to stop hcg or progesterone?
Elevated levels of progesterone is what causes your period to stop, but hcg plays a role in that too, as it is the presence of hcg (from implanted embryo) that tells the corpus luteum to keep pumping out the progesterone after the normal luteal phase length. If there is no hcg detected the corpus luteum tapers down progesterone production after about 14 days and the endiometrial lining starts to break down when the progesterone no longer is present to support it.
What are oral progesterone drops used for?
There may be a variety of uses, but progesterone drops are typically used as a supplement to balance estrogen if a woman's body is progesterone deficient. In some instances, progesterone may be used to bring on a period in women who aren't having regular cycles.
