So I take oestrogen daily via sandrema gel and progesterone days 15-26. Theoretically I should then get a period around day 27. Problem is this - I had a bleed around day 22, but it was not a regular period, just some brown blood for a couple of days and no where near what my period normally looks like. I'm now on day 31 and nothing ! As I take the gel daily I have carried on as normal but the question is when should I count day 1 from day 27 which is when it should be in which case I'll be taking progesterone soon or do I wait for a proper period and then start with that as day 1? anyone experienced this ? thanks
