A member asked:

What will happen if i start taking progesterone right when my period starts? i was supposed to take it two days before my period but it came earlier!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Progesterone pill: Not a problem. You can start ASAP . Is it for menstrual irregularity or anything else? Most likely you will be ok. You can call gynec office if there is more concern.
