How to take progesterone to delay menstruation

Progesterone is a progestin that can generally be taken 7-10 days before menstruation and can be used to delay menstruation.

Generally, it is recommended to start taking progesterone 7-10 days before menstruation, so that there is enough time for the endometrium to thicken, thereby delaying menstruation. If you take it too close to menstruation, you may have menstruation while taking the medicine. You must continue to take progesterone orally throughout the delayed menstruation period until the day you need to delay your period.

As a drug, progesterone can supplement the progestogen components needed by the body. It is usually used to treat menstrual disorders such as amenorrhea and functional uterine bleeding, luteal insufficiency, threatened abortion and habitual abortion, and premenstrual syndrome. At the same time, it can also be used to delay menstruation.

Note: Progesterone should be used under the guidance of a doctor to ensure safe and effective use. Each person may react differently to progesterone, and the effects after taking it may also vary. People who are allergic to progesterone components, as well as patients with unexplained vaginal bleeding, thrombophlebitis, vascular embolism, cerebral stroke, breast tumors, etc., are prohibited from using progesterone. During the period of taking progesterone, you should closely observe your physical condition and seek medical attention in time if you find any abnormalities.
