  Hi  – I’m assuming your doctor is recommending that you take it in the luteal phase correct? Some doctors will recommend progesterone from day 5-14 until day 25.

  No worries if you miss a dose. It’s usually ok to continue as prescribed by your doctor unless it kickstarted your period. Then you stop taking it and that’s day 1.

  It does take time for hormones to adjust, and your sex hormones should have been tested before to determine the correct dose, and they should be retested every 3 months or so to make sure the dosage is correct for you.

  If you’re having symptoms, it’s likely that the dose isn’t right  for you and you should tell your doctor about it to adjust accordingly.

  A second opinion wouldn’t hurt. Trust your instincts.

  Thank you, I realized I forgot to reply.

  The second opinion was great to talk about my questions (that raised after leaving the initial clinic).

  that’s great to hear. Did you get a different response from the 2nd opinion?
