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.

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.
