What's the least number of days I can take Utrogestan?

[AnnaDyne]

I still have periods so have to take 200mg of Utrogestan for 12 days each cycle (from day 15). I hate it. It really disagrees with me. (Already take it vaginally).

Also my cycles are short, so this time I've had a period from day 5 of the Utrogestan. And will therefore be starting again after hardly a break.

What's the shortest amount of time I can take it for? Can I stop after 10 days or I do I need do do the whole 12 day thing?

@AnnaDyne

ok. But what if you're still ovulating like I am? Does the oestrogen stop it happening? I don't particularly want to stop ovulation happening.

Testosterone can help replicate the ovulation feeling, if your doc will prescribe

I do this

I ignore the days I bleed and keep to 2 weeks on/2 weeks off schedule.

It’s so confusing, my GP didn’t really explain it and I had to go through the whole econsult thing twice to confirm when I’m supposed to start.
