New to HRT- when to start?

I’ve been prescribed combined oestrogen/progesterone HRT in the form of oestrogel and Utrogestan but I’m confused about when to start taking it. Do I start immediately and not worry about what day of my cycle I am on? Or I can wait until the 1st of the month to start the oestrogel and then add the Utrogestan on the 15th which will make it easier to remember every month?

i still have periods and my next one is due around the 7th September. Does this matter? Thanks for your help!

I’ve Just came across this post. I just started on the oestrogen 12 days ago & I’m going to start the progesterone this weekend. How are you finding it?
