I start on Evorel 50 patches and Utrogestan 100mg tomorrow.

The leaflet that came with the Utrogestan says one should take it at night at bedtime.

The pharmacist (whom I picked up the medication from) told me to take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

I am going to check with another pharmacist as to when I should take it but just wondered what people on this board who are taking it do? Do you take it in the morning or before bedtime?

Any information appreciated. Thanks

Bedtime seems to be the time to take it as it can make you drowsy . If you are using it orally you need to take it well after you've eaten if using it vaginally like most do it doesn't matter.

Thanks dazned. I'm taking it orally. The leaflet says take at bedtime at least 2 hours after a meal so I'll have to make sure I have my evening meal early (which I usually do).

I take mine orally. I'm taking it 100mg x2 for days 15 - 26. Only been on it one cycle. I found it made me sleep soundly. I didn't take it until going to bed about 10.30. I sometimes still felt tired in the morning. I think next time I might try taking it a little earlier in the evening (if I have eaten early enough to allow the two hours) so I don't feel drowsy the following morning.

I take mine with estradot patches.

Good luck with your new regime. Hope it works for you.
