About to run out of progesterone

I’m 62 & on continuous HRT.
I’ve got one tablet left.
What happens if I miss a few days?
Fuck, fuck, fuck …
Stressed enough as it is.

I'm no medical expert but I'd say apart from maybe feeling a bit less anxious, nothing?

It won’t be an issue for a short while. My consultant took me off all progesterone for 3 months when I was struggling with side effects. I wouldn’t worry about a few days

Nah, a few days will make no difference, you can relax x

I ran out of mine on Sunday, only had time to get to the pharmacy this morning. I feel fine.

Christmastimes · 24/12/2025 12:02

can you borrow some from your usual pharmacy ?

Literally nothing

You might get some breakthrough bleeding.
Phone 111 and they will issue emergency prescription, no problem.

NetZeroZealot · 24/12/2025 13:58

thank you. Some reasssuring responses. The GP put the prescription through as an emergency but our local Boots is unbelievably slow & we have to leave in an hour. I’m sure I’ll be fine.

Maybe a bit of light bleeding, maybe nothing. Nothing to worry about. Take some thin pads just in case.
