Cancelled cycle

Dear Dr Wisot
I just cancelled my cycle after no response at all after 10 days of Stims.
Leading into the cycle I did 21 days Provera and 7 days of 5mg E2 pessaries. You may recall from an earlier post that my estrogen skyrocketed up to 4800 a few days before I started. I originally thought this high estrogen had suppressed me but I now I think the Provera was more to blame. Both in suppression and also the cause of the high estrogen.
I've since read that Progestins (Provera) don't act the same as natural progesterone to manage estrogen and perhaps even suppress natural progesterone which would have lead to the estrogen dominance and 4800.
But now that I think the 21 days of Provera was the prime suspect for my over suppression. I wanted to ask you if using 10 days Provera again (without the estrogen) to 'reset' my cycle will retain this oversuppression or not?
Will my ovaries still be suppressed from the previous cycle or is it like starting new?
My best cycle so far has been with a lead in of 1000mg (natural) Progesterone and 4mg Estrogen in a pessarie. Would this be less suppressive than the Provera?
Best regards
