If progestin-induced bleeding is planned, or if spontaneous uterine bleeding occurs prior to therapy, the regimen of 50 mg daily for 5 days should be started on or about the 5th day of the cycle. Therapy may be started at any time in the patient who has no recent uterine bleeding. When ovulation occurs at this dosage there is no advantages to increasing the dose in subsequent cycles of treatment. If ovulation does not appear to occur after the first course of therapy, a second course of 100 mg daily ( two 50 mg tablets given as a single daily dose ) for 5 days should be given. This course may be started as early as 30 days after the previous one after precautions are taken to exclude the presence of pregnancy.

If three ovulatory responses occur, but pregnancy has not achieved, further treatment is not recommended. If menses does not occur after an ovulatory response, the patient should be reevaluated.
