Hi All & thanks for your helpful replies!
MaryG, I'm on Utrogestan 200mg used to take it orally and now vaginally but tbh I didn't notice any difference apart from it felt like it took a day or two for the symptoms to build up as opposed to it starting straightaway. I've tried to persevere but it's making me miserable- like PMS XXX! I've not heard of Duavive, I will ask when I go back. I've been told to go up to 4 pumps of Oestrogel (have been on 2), apart from sore boobs, I feel OK with that. I had a blood hormone test last week and they said that the progesterone levels were high but Oestrogen not as high as they could be. On the other hand, the gynaecologist who removed the polyps said I had too much unopposed oestrogen, doesn't seem to make sense.
Optimist, have you started your trial of Mirena, I'd like to know how that goes? I'm having the Jaydess 'fitted' (gah!) on Friday. I find internals really painful so not at all looking forward to it but it will be worth it if it improves the Utrogestan nightmare...
Thanks for all the helpful links Hurdity- and yes it is an NHS clinic (West London). I think they have just started prescribing Jaydess off-licence for HRT with severe progesterone intolerance (and having looked at the threads, there are a lot of us!), I have a leaflet from them. I think they will do one or two yearly scans with it to check the womb lining thickness. I'm having it done on Friday, so I will let you know how it's going.
