Hello. New to HRT taking oestrogel and utrogestan. Had 2 appts with GP one about peri symptoms, next to take bloods. I then had to choose to get mirena or not, I chose not to initially to see how I got on with utrogestan. So had to phone the GP when choice made and I thought I would need another appt. To cut a long story short was prescribed the HRT without another appt so didn't have chance to speak to doctor about how to take it. Despite online research I think have f*d up.
Started oestrogel on Day 9 of cycle (I know now I should have waited until day 1). Took utrogestan on day 14 of cycle i.e 5 days later. Should I have taken it 14 days after I started oestrogel? Did I start a 'new' cycle on day 9?
I had a period on day 21, 7 days after starting utrogestan. I continued taking utrogestan for another 7 days - i.e. the 14 days as prescribed so in fact I stopped taking it on Day 8 of this cycle as another new cycle started on day 21(day 1)
I waited 14 days after stopping utrogestan to take again, this time on day 21 of new cycle. Now 7 days later on Day 27 I have another period.
Do I keep taking the utrogestan? Or stop now and start again on day 14 of this cycle.
sorry if I have made you confused, writing it out has made me more confused,
I want to get to a point where I take utrogestan on days 14-28 and then have a period after that. I think its strange that I have a period while still taking utrogestan. I thought that once you are on the 14 day break thats when you bleed.
