Hello All,

Been taking OEstrogel and Utrogestan.  Tried to latter orally and stopped as I felt awful.  Started to take it vaginally about 16 days ago (after a week break).  today I started to bleed.  Not sure why, but that is not my question.

Surely if I try to take the Utro vaginally with a bleed it will not be absorbed?  Tonight I have take it orally, but dont really want to go down that route again.

Should have said I am on 2/3 pumps and supposed to be taking it contnuosly.

There are no silly questions Elmsley.  The reason why you had a bleed was because you started and stopped the utro for a week. Your body was unbalanced from the continuous regime and so it decided to shed the womb lining.
How long since you started the continuous gel and utrogestan?

Orally it can be a problem as it can cause stomach issues plus it is processed by the liver that's why some of us who are sensitive to progesterone use it vaginally.  I use it vaginally but on a cycle so I expect to bleed despite the fact I am post meno aged 57 and should be able to manage continuous.  However I can't take it that way so I am happy to bleed.

Nothing is silly or taboo on here
