Impact of missing progesterone doses?

I've had s terrible stomach bug which I'm struggling to recover from. I really need to give my stomach a rest for a good 24-36 hours as I can't keep any food down at the moment. (I will still take sips of water / electrolytes).

I'm day 4 into my 2 weeks of progesterone tablets. Is it OK to miss these for 1 or 2 days as i cant risk these upsetting my stomach and setting my recovery back again? What will be the impact?

You might start a bleed which is probably the last thing you need. You could use one vaginally. Just put it in as high as you can.

Insert it vaginally- as high as possible, lying down, last thing at night. If you normally use 2 capsules orally, you use the same vaginally.

I take two but always use one orally and one vaginally as I get too tired if I take both orally. Hope you are feeling better.
