Picked up prescription today. Gp had said start mid period but it came early and so I’m on day 3. Most symptoms are daytime. I’m going to start in gel which you can do morning or evening. So should I...

A. Wait until next period so can do it mid period (the equivalent of yesterday)
B wait until the morning as symptoms I’m struggling with are day time.
C. Start tonight.

Help! Desperate to get started but not sure what will give best results. Thanks in advance.

I started my gel straight away. But I'm doing mornings as I've read it can keep you awake.

You can start gel any time.

I use 1 pump in the morning and half a pump at bedtime.

It's best to start Utrogestan to time with your own mid-cycle if you have one, but if not, just choose a day of the month to start. A lot of women choose the 1st/15th of the month as it's easy to remember.

Thank you both so much for replying. I’ll start in the morning then. So hoping it helps. So fed up with it all.
