Progesterone on holiday

[Loudestcat14]

I'm only a few months on HRT and due to be going to Greece (all being well) in a couple of weeks. The holiday is going to coincide with when I should be taking my 12-day run of progesterone tablets and the instructions clearly state you should take them at night having not eaten for two hours previously. We always eat and drink really late when we're away so I'm wondering whether it's safer to delay starting the 12-day course until our departure day. So instead of starting them on the 15th, I'd take them from the 24th. The month afterwards I'd go back to the 15th again.

Is this wise?? Hoping someone might here have the answer, because it's hard getting hold of my GP at the moment even for a telephone consultation.

The do not take with food isn't actually correct, my meno consultant told me. Taking with food increases the absorption so you might get more side effects if you get them anyway (that's what the leaflet means) but it won't harm you taking with food.

so you could take them any time at the end of the day or wait 10 days and start when you are back. Delaying a few days isn't an issue.
