Utrogestan dose

[Hazygreenday]

I don’t know if I missed a dose last night. Slept badly and woke up with a headache wondering if I’d missed it. Only 1/4 cup of my water drunk and I normally drink it all. I decided to take one when I woke up around 6 am and I feel a bit better although still headachey. Might be because I didn’t drink enough yesterday in work.
what should I do tonight? Take my usual dose or not? Thanks

I’m on a regime of taking it 1—15 of every month. I tend to forget it from time to time and my gynae told me not to worry about a couple of missed doses. What to do may depend on your regime.

Thanks. I’m on a continuing dose of 100mg every night. I’m just wondering if it’s going to be ok to take my usual dose tonight. Maybe I should take it but later than I usually would.

I sometimes forget to take my desk at night, and take it in the morning instead. I then take that day's one in the evening.

I seem to be alive, but I have no idea what the official advice would be.

Thanks LadyGardner. I think that’s probably the best thing to do. I hope that’s still ok to do if I did actually take last night’s dose though. That’s the dilemma.

Just take your usual dose as normal, it isn't like paracetamol that too much is toxic.
Have a little bit of paper and pen by your bed and tick it as you take it then you'll know for definite in future.

Thanks Janiie for your advice and great tip!

Find a way to remember when to take it.

I take mine very last thing at night after shower/ teeth clean.

If you forget it, carry on the next day as normal.

It's not a great idea to forget it too often because you are maybe going to get some bleeding after a missed dose.

@LadyGardenersQuestionTime The dose is better taken at bedtime because it can cause sedation (not great if driving etc) and can also make you dizzy.

Thanks Jingling, I will have to set an alarm and tick it off maybe.
Yes, I do usually take it last thing at night and it gives me a good nights sleep that way too.
