GRL, it's great to hear from you again and I'm so pleased that your regime is going so well. Long may it continue.
Peroxideblader, why don't you try a similar regime to GRL? If you suffer with hormonal depression/anxiety, high doses of progesterone are bad news and never going to work for you. This is a specialised area of HRT and Professor Studd is an expert in this field and that is why he usually prescribes the regime he finds works best which is a high dose of Oestrogel (often 4 pumps of gel a day) and 7 days of 100mg Utrogestan each month preferably used vaginally to get maximum clearance and thinning of the womb. He doesn't make regular womb scans a condition of using his regime but to be on the safe side it is sensible to have regular scans to make sure your womb lining is not building up. That said, I have yet to hear about any woman on Professor Studd's regime who has had serious problems with womb lining build up.
You won't get any NHS doctor to prescribe this regime at this dose (the low dose of progesterone being the key to success) but depending on how you are placed financially, you could make an appointment with Professor Studd (he does telephone appointments if that helps) and have regular scans. He will write to your GP and you can then obtain your HRT via the NHS.
Please give it some consideration, it has to be better than struggling on as you are at the moment and you may get the same great results as GRL.
