Hi ladies (apologies Sarah 2) I have been hectic and have not had a chance to respond to you..
The usual protocol as far as I know is a bleed a few days after the progesterone cycle ends, which is how its always been with me, exactly 5 days after. I take 100mgs for 12 days per month. Are you ladies using it vaginally, that makes a big difference! I would try that and see if it does not help with the early bleeding, as it is really a more direct method of delivery in this case...
Such a nuisance when bleeds come when they are not expected. I have had a few breakthrough bleeds and agree with Sarah, the moment, I forget my Oestrogel, even for a night, I get a bleed, such a nuisance to balance the ole hormones exactly and to keep the equilibrium. Keep us posted... x
