I'm switching from continuous no-bleed estrogel & prometrium/micronized progesterone/utrogestan (exact same medicine, different trade name) to cyclical because I have been getting bleeds. Does everyone who uses utrogestan take it for 12 days, cycle day 15-26? And you always get a bleed? I have read that if you bleed before all 12 daily capsules have been taken, you're to continue to take all 12 days, and then count from the day you started bleeding and begin again at cycle day 15. And if early flow continues, then a higher progesterone and/or lower estrogen dose is needed. Now if you don't bleed, or bleed quite a bit later, do you adjust when you start taking it? At what point do you opt for long cycle? I've been searching the forum and all over the net really, and so many recommendations are super basic like "take for 12 continuous days in a 28-day cycle"...presuming everyone has a 28 day cycle. I'm in Canada, and Merck, the manufacturer, states in their product monograph to take it for 14 days, days 8-21, which seems completely out to lunch. Same product in Australia says 12 days days 15-26, same as UK. I'm apparently peri, and went 7 months without a period (I think a crazy long anovulatory cycle), so I'm trying to align this with my natural cycle which seems to have resurfaced with the progesterone. I have so many questions, but my dr doesn't know a fraction of what you ladies do!
