Thanks for your replies. Hurdity I take a 0.5mg sachet of sandrena on a Monday Wednesday and Friday only, and one 350microgramme micronor tablet on the same three days. I intend to have a mother scan early next year and see if the lining has changed. I don't think my doc is at all familiar with HRT and menopause and just "does what the book says". It's interesting that you say bleeding could occur if the lining becomes thin, I didn't know that. Do you know how thick the lining should be, mine was 4.7mm which she was happy with (under 5mm is acceptable) the utrogestan could give me horrid symptoms as, as you say, it would be far too high a does for the low does of estrogen im taking. Really not sure what next as going back to him won't help I doubt, he's about to retire anyway. Would a private gynaecologist help do you think?
