I think I’ve been taking the gell and Progesterone tablet wrong

I am currently using the HRT gel and progesterone tablet!
I am Peri and would get a period around every 3 months.
my gp said I could take it 25 days on and 3 days off.

now after doing some research it seem like I should take it two weeks on and two weeks off?
Using this system I have been stopping the gel as well as the tablets for the 3 days but realised recently I’m only supposed to stop taking the tablet and continue to apply the gel.
I worried as I have been using HRT
for a few months this way, is there a risk of my womb lining become too thick?

what is the correct way to use HRT, my GP hasn’t given me the best advise and she doesn’t seem very knowledgeable 😞

appreciate some advice on what is the best system for me and what day in the month is best to start?
