Progesterone with irregular period

hello all,

I’ve recently started testosterone cream and now my period is every 2 weeks. When do I take progesterone if my period is fortnightly? I was taking progesterone on day 14 to 25 of my cycle previously 🤷🏼‍♀️

🤔 I’ve seen this advice..but obviously it doesn’t correspond with your practice. Speak to your GP for peace of mind.

‘50mg testosterone per 5g tube (1%). Use a small, pea-sized amount (approx. 0.5g gel = 5mg testosterone) and rub it into the front of the thigh daily. One tube should last around 14 days.’

thank you, but I’m wondering when I should take progesterone as I keep having a period every 14 days. 😊

🙂Yes..I did note the irregularity…my point was I’d seen several mentions of the method you used, and also the method I mentioned.

🤔 It’s likely you need medical advice to be absolutely certain…so you could speak to a Pharmacist if you can’t get a GP appointment.
