Donna-Paul - I am really sorry that we are confusing you - I have made a mistake. I do get mixed up about the different doses and the difference between mg and mcg etc. I had mixed up the different progesterones - it's Dydrogesterone that is meant to be 10 mg per day.
Do look under TREATMENTS on this site:https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/perimeno.php.
I am baffled as to why you have been given such a high dose of Norethisterone - is it really 5mg per day? Your gynae should have known that this progesterone is more likely to cause problems!!!!
1mg Norethisterone seems to be the standard dose per day for both sequential and conti HRT and as this is the most powerful type of progesterone and is also the most likely to give PMT type symptoms.!!! If you look at most of the combined sequential HRT types, 12-14 days of progesterone are the standard amount of days needed for a sequential regime.
I still think you need a different progesterone. Here is the page on this site that shows alternative progesterones you could try:
