Utrogesten tablets day 15 - 26 advice please

[Motheroffive999]

I have a doctor's appointment but it is on 29th.
I have the gel too daily.
Can anyone tell me what to do as I had spotting/ light period on the 1st April - 4th April( brown ) this was day 14 of my cycle.
So I took the utrogesten as Normal and doctor said to increase it to 300mg from 200mg.
Anyway yesterday 14th April and today I am spotting again.
Dr said in email to take utrogesten day 15 -26 which obviously I know this is what I should do but how do I know what day cycle I am on ?
All my life I have had regular periods every 28 days. I am 51

I have lost 4 stone , could it be that? I am really stressed as lots going on / sons wedding , work problems
I had a period 1st February ( very light) and on the day I expected it to be but had a smear 8th February which was really painful and it felt scratchy for days after.
Any advice to stop me worrying would be amazing please .

I just go my the calendar month as I am 55 and periods are not so regular anymore. So I take mine from 1st to the 14th and bleed around the 12th and 13th

Bleeds are very often erratic and unpredictable during perimenopause, this doesn't sound worrying but if you're used to being as regular as clockwork I can understand it could be confusing. As long as you're taking it for two weeks of the month it will be doing it's job to protect your womb lining from thickening.

Thank you both very much
