Hi all,

I've been on oestrogel and utrogestan sequentially  for 18 months. I'm 52 and had a a few yrs of irregular periods, sometimes up to eight months without.

So, at my review today my GP has suggested I go on to a continuous regime.

I'm about a week post last bleed , can I just start taking the utrogestan now? I use it vaginally, so I know it's every second day. I know too I might get some bleeding at times and if it's too bad, I can go back to sequential.

Cheers.

When was your last period?

When was your last period?

Started 12 days ago.

The best way to switch to continuous regime from sequential: Finish 200 mg x 12 days, then take 3 days off, then start your continuous regime. This way you will avoid spotting.

I don't know what you're supposed to do but I would start when the bleed ended. You aren't much beyond that so personally I would do it now (though perhaps don't leave it any longer).
