Hi Perri, I take it only 12 days a month as I dont like the side effects, it has the opposite effect on me that it does on many, instead of making me sleepy, it gives me insomnia, and makes me feel like I have had too much coffee, I feel a bit racy and jittery on it, so I only use it for 12 days a month and to be honest, I often cheat and use it every 2nd month, but one does need to go for a scan annually to see that its working properly. I only rub 1 pump of gel into each leg, I massage it in well until its absorbed, I have never just put it on and let it dry, it takes about 30 secons to rub it in, the length of the leg.
If you do use the Utrogestan for only 12 days a month, you will get a bleed every month, it usually starts about 4 or 5 days after you have stopped the Utrogestan & lasts a few days.
I have never used it every day, but if you choose that, then you should not get a bleed at all apparantly.
Hope this helps, feel free to ask any questions.
