That’s exactly what I use, Evorel 50 and utrogestan orally, 2 capsules before bed for 12 days.
I think people react to the utrogestan in different ways. My “period”:usually starts on day 8 of taking the utrogestan. Never waits until a few days after the utrogestan part of the cycle. My periods however are very light now.
Something I did find though ( you may be more organised than me) coming from gel to patch, was that I kept forgetting to take the utrogestan so I now take it from day 1 of a new box of patches to keep it regular
