Hi ladies,

Bit of an odd question from me!

Due to fly home from USA.  Trying to decide what time to take my 200mg oral Utrogestan. I used to feel completely zombied the following morning after taking utrogestan, this is no longer the case but it definitely knocks me out a bit and I generally sleep like a log when I take it.

We are due to leave USA at 6:10pm, 8 hour flight (ish), plus five hours, landing at around 7am.

I trying to figure out what the best time is to take my Utro, bearing in mind I am not supposed to eat for two hours prior?

I don’t want any lingering zombie effects as well as jet lag if possible!

Ideally I would like to take it once we are settled at the airport and ready to board which gives my plenty of time to sleep it off but I usually would have had something to eat just after boarding?

First world problems I know, what would you do re timing?

Thanks

I don't have an answer but just to say I'm already worrying about that, since calculating when to take my mini pill during international travel was hard enough 

And that doesn't even cause drowsiness or need to be taken away from food

I wonder if I could just take one tablet instead of two if it is not long after I have eaten?

I wonder if you can just insert one vaginally (only need half the dose) and then you wouldn't need to worry about when you are eating and all that...

I think I’ll just end up going hungry 

Thanks for your replies!

Maybe take it vaginally?
I take one vaginally, there are ladies on here who take it vaginally.
Check with other ladies on here though, I don't know much, I just thought, if vaginal works, then why not try it one day, vaginal doesn't cause drowsiness and you would still be getting your dose.

Thanks Dandelion,

I’m just a bit reluctant to change anything with my regime for fear of messing things up…..

I think I’m going to google some more about food timings etc, I’m wondering if I could take it late afternoon a few hours after lunch but before the meal on the plane? I’m just not sure how drowsy it actually makes me because I always take it when I am tired at bedtime!!!

Thanks again.

Hi Ali
I'm totally neurotic about utrogestan because it is cross tolerant with the valley and that my psychiatrist is helping me detox from.

I know if it is taken with food, more goes into the system and it is more sedating.
I hope someone on here can help.
There was a woman called Hurdity who helped me loads.
There are also other knowledgeable women on here, I am not one of them though.
I hope someone comes along to help you.

When I was flying internationally and taking the POP (which had to be taken within 4 hours), I was a bit ridiculous. I would work out the time I'd usually take it in my destination country, and then I would adjust it by 2 hours every day, until I got it to be morning in my destination country    It was a total PITA, I'd have my alarm going off to tell me to take it in the middle of the day whilst I was abroad    So anyway, I'm not looking forwards to figuring this part of HRT out
