I have finished my first month of oestrogen gel and utogestran. When can I expect my period to start if my last progesterone tablets was last night?

I think it varies from person to person. I’m on mu first month of HRT and my bleed started on my 7th day of utrogestan 🤷‍♀️

I actually start bleeding on day 4-5 of taking Utrogestan.

I've been on it a few months now. At first I was bleeding midway during the progesterone (taking it on day 15 of the month) and then a few days after finishing that period, I was then having another on the 8th day of the following month.
Two periods a month didn't work for me, so I decided to start taking progesterone on the 25th of the month to see if those two periods might combine. They did, so I now continue to take on the 25th of the month - this is clearly more like my natural cycle!

@Ellami early in my HRT journey I am just finishing my second 14 days of Utrogest. After the first 14 days i got my period the next day. When i started the next 14 days of utrogest, i then got my period 7 days into taking the utrogest. i am just about to stop taking the utrogest again(as its now day 13 of taking it) and want to know how to regulate the bleed so i only get the breakthrough when stopping the progesterone? did you delay starting utrogest again or start it early?
