Today went back to my specialist told him that whilst being on femoston conti I had experienced very bad anxiety,palps,awful thoughts of dying, nauseated,insomnia,feeling like I must have a terminal illness just horrendous. But I'd done what asked and too k norethisterone for my springclean. 
He said it sounded like I was progesterone intolerant and that there were three choices
1) very drastic - hysterectomy
2) laser ablation- he didn't recommend
3) tricyclic hrt
So I have chosen to try that.

I have my 1mg estradiol and utrogestran 200mg vaginal pessary ,so I will take 1mg estrogen for 3 months and use the pessary for the last 12 days .Asked him do gps have to prescribe what he tells them and he said they didn't have to but he would write and remind them that as he is telling them the onus is on him not them ! As they suggested to me. He said ultimately it is all about budgets after I told him about the lectures I had gotten off my doctors,he said what they told me ,all th scare stories etc was utter rubbish ! He said I was an adult who could weigh up the quality of my life against any very slight increased risks and they shouldn't be so patronising treating me like an idiot! So there we go for now so I wait to see how I go. Off to ask questions on the thread of this regime .Wish me luck

Hi hope this works for you

Interesting dazed. I get the same in the second half of my cycle... Thought these symptoms were due yo declining estrogen at this stage.  How do they know if symptoms are a result of dropping estrogen or caused by progesterone I wonder.

It could be either or both dogdoc.... those who are progesterone intolerant (to their own progesterone) will feel like this more or less for the whole of the second half of the menstrual cycle. If your oestrogen levels are generally functioning well then many women will experience low mood from the dip in oestrogen just before the bleed and for a few days until it starts to rise again. have you looked at John Studd's website where he discusses the effect of oestrogen on mood & depression?

Good luck with the new regime dazned!

Hope this works.  Perhaps your Specialist could begin a side line and visit GP Surgeries to remind them that there is treatment out there

He says he is always getting phone calls from GPS!  I just deleted what I was going to say I will PM you thought it might be libelous !
