It is important to take the full dose, for the full duration, of your prescription, unless you get approval from your doctor to stop taking this prescription. The medication is likely working if you are not having any more symptoms (bleeding), which is a great thing, and you do not want to stop the dose early (you may have to start treatment all over again).
I do not think synthetic progesterone has an effect on fibroid, except to stop any excessive bleeding caused by fibroids.
Progesterone is naturally occurring in our bodies, and this synthetic version mimics the real thing by regulating the healthy shedding of your uterine lining. It also works by prohibiting ovulation (similar to the birth control pill), and does not stay in your system long after you stop taking the drug. Many of the woman's stories you read may have already had problems with their period before taking this medication (it is prescribed for menstrual irregularities). If you were personally ovulating and having normal/regular periods, you will likely begin ovulating after the discontinuation of the medication....in other words, there is no effect of fertility by this medication alone.
