Hi there, I would be very grateful for any advice out there.  I was on a combination Estrogen/prog patch but unfortunately they went out of stock early this year.  I didn't really want a tablet form of Prog as have a sensitive gut so stopped everything around March, however my symptoms have returned and so going to bite the bullet and get going again. 
My question is, I haven't had a period for over 2 months and the Utrogestan tablets state, take on days 15-26 of your cycle, but have no idea where I am in my cycle with no period for a while.  Wondering shall I just start the Evorel 50 patch today and count that as day 1 and then start the Utrogestan in 15 days and just take it from there?  Grateful if anyone else has been in the same position and what they ended up doing?
Thanks so much in advance - keen to get back going but difficult to speak to a doctor at this current time.
Julie

Hi which patches were you on previously ? Evorel Sequi or Evorel Conti ?

[Jules069]

Hi Dotty - I was on Everol Conti previously

[Dotty]

Hi if you were on Evorel Conti then you were on a continuous regime for post menopausal ladies and you should take the Utrogestan continuously.....100mg every night.

The regime of taking it from days 15-26 is for peri menopause and will probably result in monthly periods. X

Apologies Dotty I think I had it wrong with what I was previously on as it was an estrogen patch for 2 weeks, then a mixed estrogen/prog patch for the remaining two weeks.  x

Hi yes that sounds like Evorel Sequi, so yes you take the Utrogestan on dats 15-26. Although you could take it every day if you think you were nearing post menopause. X
