Title: Forgot utorgesteron
Post by: Cupcake100 on September 27, 2020, 09:27:51 AM

Morning to all,

I take 2 pumps of estrogel daily and 14 days of Utrogestan (200mg).

All is well, but frustratingly I forgot to take the  Utrogestan one night last week, and my ‘period’ has now come early.

Question is: do I continue to take the Utrogestan for the remaining (3 days) of the cycle or has it done it’s job this month  :)?


Thanks 😊

I would stick as closely to the prescribed regime as possible.
Hence I would take the final 3 days of Utrogestan to complete the cycle, regardless of your bleed.
It is important to take the opposing hormone: Utrogestan opposes the effect of oestrogen on the womb lining and reduces the risk of endometrial cancer.
