Cyclogest is the same thing as utrogestan, it's just designed to be a vaginal pessary instead of an oral capsule.

The progesterone in Bijuve is... utrogestan. All these are body identical utrogestan, they are just for different routes or combined with other things.

Progestins can sometimes make you bleed when you first start taking them but long-term/over time that stops. When I used to start the POP, I would bleed lightly for weeks if not months - then it would stop completely for as long as I took it.
Aw, I requested cyclogest, thinking I might get fewer side effects than with utrogestan.
If it's just the same thing as utrogestan, then my request will probably be turned down, but it'll save me trying yet another one.

They're both brand names and neither is marketed as a generic medicine, so wouldn't they have had separate inventions?
Inventing a medicine is the wrong word, but you know what I mean.
I'm going to phone now, see if there's a yes or no on it yet.
