When is the best time to start taking progestrone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contraception?: I assume you mean for contraception. If so the first injection should be within 6 days of the start of your period for maximum protection. If you start it any other time, use barrier protection for the first month, then it should be fully effective. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
