Only started HRT 4 weeks ago. Am now on day 13 of my 'new' cycle. I 'should' start the Utro on Saturday night (day 15).
But if I wait until then I will still be having my withdrawl bleed as we fly on holiday. Last month my mood really dipped and my anxiety came back with a vengeance on the first day of my withdrawl bleed and didn't go away until 2 days after my bleed finished. Have felt absolutely fine since, though.
Really don't want to be feeling low and anxious as we fly on holiday. If I'm as bad as I was last month, there's a good chance I won't be able to make myself get on the plane. And even if I do manage to fly, I don't want the first couple of days holiday spoilt.
So, would it be okay to start my Utro tonight? This should mean my bleed will have finished slightly earlier and so I 'should' be starting to feel much better as we fly.
Or...........do I trust that the oestrogen will have had a few more weeks to stabilise me, so maybe I won't get the same nasty dip when my withdrawl bleed starts this month?
The other alternative is, to keep to the cycle and start the Utro on day 15 and finish on day 26. But use diazepam to ease me over those really difficult days when I have the bleed. But there's a good chance I will have to drive to Heathrow so won't be able to tackle that if I'm on diazepam.
I honestly don't know what to do? Any advice is very welcome.
