Is anyone using utrogestan orally?
« on: February 21, 2020, 06:47:07 PM »

I was wondering if anyone uses Utrogestan orally rather than vaginally?

That's good to hear, Dotty.  I'm American and have been prescribed Estrogel and prometrium.  Our prometrium pills can't be take vaginally just orally.

Hi there collysully- I also if it's the same product that is used for fertility ( like utrogestan) then these are also taken vaginally. I would check, if this is the route you would prefer, although most who take it daily (100 mg) opt for oral as continuous vaginal use can irritate and/or limit bedroom activities  ::) .

Thank you all so much!  I appreciate it.

I spoke to a pharmacist who told me he doesn't think the prometrium pills can be used vaginally.  I'm a bit confused on this.  They're 100 mg pink pills.  I wish I could get Utrogestan so that I could use them either way.

I'm 58 and have been in menopause about 7 years.  Do you think it's better to cycle the prometrium or use it continuously?

Stella Jane....you made me smile 😀

I think promethium is the same as Utrogestan....it's micronised progesterone. X

I'm in Canada and also use Prometrium. It is the very same as Utrogestan, and yes 100% you can use it vaginally or orally. Both are 100mg micronized progesterone. My Prometrium is generic and is a while ball with a gelatinous coating. I've had success taking it both orally and vaginally, and have tried both continuous and cyclic regimes with it (so 100mg and 200mg as it applies to each regime). It may only be licensed for HRT orally but my OB-GYN confirmed that I can used it vaginally, as it's true, it's used vaginally for some fertility/pregnancy reasons. My OB-GYN advises that it's the best choice if you're able to tolerate it (I assume because it's bioindentical) , so I'm glad I get on well with it.
