Prognava taken together or at intervals?

Guys I am on 6mg (3x 2mg) prognava, have been building up from 2mg over a few weeks now. I just read a post from lab_lover who was told to take hers at 8 hour intervals, I have been taking mine all at the one time, it never was stated to me what way to take them. Now I'm worried I have been doing it wrong or Does it matter?

My nurse insists that they are taken at equal intervals throughout the day for best absorption - bear in mind I was on 10mg though. We all seem to get slightly differing advice from different clinics!xx

i took mine one in the am and one in the pm but I don't think it will have made a huge difference. so long as your body is absorbing it and its not mostly all falling out you should be fine. i preferred one at a time, it was less gooey. :D

ah right.. in that case.. i asked the question of whether to spread them out and or take them at the same time and the embryologist told me it made absolutely no difference whatsoever. (the pessaries are cyclogest aren't they.. drat.. damn baby brain)

Yes I was on 6mg 3 pills a day and I do mine at 8 hour intervals aswell. Maybe just double check with your clinic xxx

I was told take one at breakfast one at lunch and one at dinner to space them out. Don't think precise timing matters but pretty sure they are supposed to be spaced and not taken at the same time. xx

I was told to take my 3 all together just at roughly the same time every day x

My clinic told me to take them spaced out at 8 hour intervals at exactly the same time every day. Tbh that caused me more stress. It seems everyone is told different. Lots of people told timing doesn't matter so, check with your clinic but don't panic x

I was told to take mine all at once as long as they were roughly about the same time every day. I would double check with your clinic xx

Thanks all for replies, I am getting a lining check tomorrow so il know if it has hindered or helped then. Grateful for all replies, it's brilliant to have a support forum xx

My clinic say it doesn’t matter either way. I took all mine at the same time on an evening as it reduced the chance of me forgetting any of them. My lining was always fine. My clinic said the only benefit to spacing them out is that they cause nausea in some ladies (I never had it) and spacing them out can reduce it. Hope your scan goes well!

I was spacing but difficult when out and about so checked with the clinic and they said all at once is fine

*UPDATE*

Scan this morning went to plan, they told me my lining needed to b at least 7mm, mine was 11mm 😁 he said it was text book. So taking the prognava all at once must have been ok. I asked about it and he said it makes no difference taking them together or at intervals, it's really only if they make u feel nausea that they wud advise to space it out.
