Hi after one more sense check before I continue on please
So I did have a period 8 days after my last progesterone pill (vaginally)
I’ve spoken to my doctor and a pharmacist - both of which have never heard of inserting it vaginally - so I’m a couple of days off my next round - I am not sure whether to do vaginally or not - I think I feel better on it but how do you know that it’s working ? If they don’t ever check your levels ? Sorry I’m boring myself but I’m just a little nervous of being off license 🙈

It's licenced for vaginal use in the rest of Europe just not in the UK. The 200mg utrogeston capsule (the same apart from the dose) are licensed for vaginal but not oral use in the UK and only for ivf not hrt. I think this is a bureaucratic problem not a medical one. Lots of us on here use it vaginally, it's supposed to be more effective this way as more gets to where it's needed.
