Answer
If you bled for 3-4 days after taking the medication for 5 days, that should trigger your period to start coming every month. If it does not, you may have to take the progesterone again (twice a day for 5 days). It merely means that you had some hormonal imbalance. It should correct itself with time. As far as losing weight, you will have to diet and exercise. There is no way of knowing why you don't lose the weight.
