Hello ladies, ive been a bit quieter lately but now Im back as the short lived feeling better has gone today, im using Estradot patches every day, changing twice per week, I think its the Utorgestan causing the probs, Im now using it vaginally (bit concerned about this as it does not mention using it this way on the instructions but I know lots of ladies are), ive used 6 tablets, little round balls really, the drowseyness on waking up is still there feeling like you have been in a deep sleep and cannot wake up, it passed about lunchtime normally and then I take another one about 10pm when I go to bed. My question is does anybody get any side effects at all with Utrogestan apart from drowseyness, so I know what is normal, some days Im great, other days like today kept feeling kind of shaky, just don't feel 100%, Im still getting chest pain now and again and I don't think its my anxiety, so just wondered what other ladies are experiencing, I know I have to stick with it, but id be quite happy to have 15 days off now after taking 6, but assume this would not be a good idea. Just a reminder 1 year since last natural period, Im 54, the doctor prescribed the Utrogestan to be taken orally for 25 out of 28 days, but he did actually ask me what method Id prefer, I didn't really understand what the choice was at the time, just glad to have them prescribed at long last.
Its been hard work getting Utrogestan as Ive chopped and changed so many times, only sticking to one preparation for nearly three months, the other alternative is to come off hrt, but then my anxiety is affected and if I don't want to take anti depressants, what option do I have x
