First month of HRT, period on day 21 do I stop progesterone??

[IfWhippetsRuledTheWorld]

Hello. I started HRT this month (oestrogen gel and progesterone tablets on days 14-28).

It's day 21 and I think my period is on its way (getting my early monthly migraine symptoms).

But I've only taken 7 days of progesterone? If I carried on the full 14 that would mean I was taking them on day 1-7 of my next cycle (and then just a week off before starting on day 14 again).

Can anyone help me make sense? Sorry if I could look up earlier threads or should know the answer, my head is pounding and I want to go to bed but don't know whether to take the progesterone or not.

Thank you

No, stick to the 14-28 days.

Thank you for the reply. So the 14-28 is just a constant thing regardless of what the heck my cycle decides to do?

Yep! My cycles were all over the place anyway so made no sense to follow them 😅. My cycle is my HRT. Had no issues for 3 years ☺️

Thank you

Hi @IfWhippetsRuledTheWorld forget about your own cycle and take the progesterone for 12-14days then stop. Start it again on the same DATE you started this month on intake it the same DATE each month and it will create a HRT cycle.
