Short answer: The Endometrin Patient Information says: if you forget a dose of Endometrin, take the dose as soon as you remember, but do not use more than your daily dose. It also says to call your doctor if you use too much. Endometrin is one 100 mg vaginal insert two or three times a day.

What does the Endometrin label say about a missed insert?

The prescribing information has no missed-dose section. The Patient Information, which is part of the same FDA label, says: if you forget a dose of Endometrin, take the dose as soon as you remember, but do not use more than your daily dose. Call your doctor if you use too much Endometrin.

Example: you use Endometrin three times a day and forgot the midday insert. Under the leaflet you would use it when you remember, as long as the day's total stays at three inserts.

What the label does not cover

The leaflet does not give spacing between a late insert and the next one, and does not say how a missed dose affects an IVF cycle. Those questions go to your fertility team.
