Help!! Forgot to take my HRT progesterone

Posting here for traffic- I am 6 days late with my utrogestan. I have had a bad back and it’s totally occupied my thoughts so forgot to take my cyclical Utrogestan.

Should I just start it today and re- set the cycle from today for the 2 weeks? I can’t believe I forgot - have been taking it religiously for 3 years and never missed a cycle.

Also, Aibu to be worried? I feel such an idiot! I should have started it on the 26th so a week late remembering.

Thanks for any advice!

Ring 111 and ask for advise or read the leaflet that came with it as that usually says what to do if you miss a dose.

I’d start today and take for the full 2 weeks and then go back to my regular cycle. My dr told me it’s more important that you get the right amount rather than rigidly sticking to the ‘cycle’.
I take mine on 1st of the month so I don’t forget.

Ok thanks - that’s useful. I can’t believe I forgot - looks like I will be the 1st of month from now on too!!

Mine was often a few days late, just start the 2 weeks now and don't worry about it. I now have a reminder on my phone!
