I have just found out that I am pregnant after my 4th IUI treatment. I have been taking Cyclogest pessaries 200mg BD since my treatment. My question is: If I am having a chemical pregnancy, will the Cyclogest be stopping my period from coming? I have had positive urine pregnancy tests but just do not feel pregnant at all. Some people would consider themselves lucky but it is just adding to the worry!!

Congratulations!!!
A false positive pregnancy test is very unusual, and would not be caused by the Cyclogest. It is also not unusual to not be experiencing any symptoms this early in the pregnancy.
If there is reason to believe you have low progesterone levels (which I assume, since you are supplementing) then it would be appropriate to check your progesterone levels before conceiving, now, and periodically, to determine the amount of progesterone to administer to maintain normal levels for your pregnancy.
