progesterone
« on: February 19, 2016, 05:15:29 PM »

Im in early surgical meno due to endometriosis so need to have prog to try to keep it at bay.  I tried just e and ended up having further surgery.  Ive tried utrogestan 200mg a day makes me feel possessed and northisterone headaches and feeling sick.  Are there any progs that dont make you feel rubbish.  All advice welcomed

Some women do OK on Provera?   Can you reduce the amount of oestrogen you use so you don't need such a high dose of progesterone?  DG x

There are also various progesterone only pills with different progestogens from those in HRT and wonder if any of these might work if taken with the oestrogen? I'm not familiar with them though.
