My progesterone tablet prescription states to take 1 tablet every night on days 1 to 25 of a 28 day cycle. So after they were prescribed I started taking them on the first day of my next period as advised by my GP. I will be taking 25 tablets, have 3 days off, then start again. I’m also applying oestrogen gel daily.
Will I get my period on my 3 days off?
I chat to lots of different women daily as part of my job and I’ve yet to talk to anyone who’s progesterone dose/frequency is the same as mine, even though their oestrogen is the same.
Some take it for 10 days a month, some for 14, some double dose for a set number of days, usually 7 days.
How do you take yours? And why is everyone prescribed differently?
