I am on month 3 of taking utrogestan 200mg vaginally, I have noticed that each month when I go for a wee little bits of white float in the toilet, this is not just first  thing in the morning but all day, does anyone know what this may mean? Is it all coming back out & i am not absorbing it?

Hi Dee46,

I think this is just the bits and pieces of the capsule white coat that is not absorbed by the vaginal mucosa. The micronised progesterone is in the liquid inside and is being absorbed.

[Dee46]

Menomale thank you for explaining was starting to think maybe I am taking something but it is all coming out again, feel brain dead at the moment! ! Maybe the anxiety is taking a break   

[Menomale]

How are you feeling on Utrogestan? Are you taking 200 mg continuosly or 12 days a month? I had to stop it, felt really bad!

[Dee46]

This is my 3rd month, felt worse last month, feel a bit flat at times & then can be upbeat, the anxiety attacks are the worst & the dread I feel on waking, only getting about 4-5 hrs sleep, I feel like someone has taken over my mind & body, I am on 200mg for 14 days although the specialist may tweek next week when I see her, how did it makes you feel Menomale & how long did you take it for?

[Menomale]

I took 100mg vaginally for 17 days and thought I was going to die or kill myself... then I decided to stop HRT because I'm still perimenopausal (but had only 2 periods 10 months apart) and my hormones are probably still fluctuating. I can't describe exactly how I felt, I had other issues going along (family, house, money) that may have made things worse.

[Dee46]

I have been feeling rough with anxiety for almost 2 years, I was hoping hrt might be the answer to make me feel a bit normal again but have this funny feeling I will always be like this now, so I guess you were going to be taking it everyday at 100my,  I have felt rough but I dpush have the occasionall time when I feel calmer! I am in peri too I know what it is like to have other issues going which makes all these syptoms seem worse & you think if only people knew how we felt bloony rubbish everyday!

[Menomale]

Exactly! It's never easy for women! Next life it's male or nothing!

[Dee46]

Apparently all us women do is moan! I think we have a bloody reason to when we go through all this body changing most of our life! & then when life is going well all this anxiety & fear is thrown at us overnight!

[Menomale]

Yes, anxiety and fear are the worst for me, they make me feel I'm dead and life is passing me by. Many times people would tell me that I'm pessimistic and that I should count my blessings because other people were in much more pain and suffering and all I could think was that knowing about their troubles would only make me feel worse!

Hello,

I had absolutely hellish morning dreads for a very long time. I honestly thought I was going mad, psychotic. My sister took her own life in 2013, there is a bit of a genetic problem with depression and anxiety...my mum suffered too.  Anyway...I was on Prozac, HRT (Premarin and later, bioidenticals) , amytryiptiline....then last year I had a bit of an epiphany and just came off everything. A few months later,  I noticed I was losing some hair through breakage (was overdoing the blonde)  and started myself on Biotin and MSM.  Not sure if it is this that has helped me, but finally I feel completely normal, happy...looking forward to the future, no anxiety, no dreads or jitters.

I'm looking my age at 55, but never felt better!

Hi lesley!

Well, that's encouraging, considering I have some mental issues running in the family too! What's MSM?

[lesley998]

It's sulphur. Of sorts.  its one of these things we don't know we need!  I buy Incite brand of Biotin 10,000 mg with MSM from Amazon.  It's helped the hair growth, but I genuinely feel it's replaced something I didn't know I was missing.  Honestly, it's not my imagination, I finally feel normal after years and years of always feeling I was hanging by my fingertips.  I came off Prozac completely after 25 years, tried HRT for a wee while but didn't feel right, and now this is the only thing I take.  I feel fab.  I hope to God it's not just a blip,in this hormone hell and I'm finally through the worst.

[Menomale]

Fingers crossed! I'll look into it, thanks!
