Hi ladies.
I did post in the Estrogel/Utrogestan advice thread but didn't receive any replies so apologies for reposting but I really need some help and advice and I know that you are the best people to come to.
Brief background; I've just turned 50, have been in peri for about 7-8 years. No real period since December 2016 (but a light, spotty type bleed in November 2017). I have the usual symptoms; hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness etc but also have hair loss/thinning. I've tried most things to help with symptoms including natural progesterone cream - which gave me horrendous digestive issues.
I can't have oral HRT as I have migraines with aura so was put on Evorel Conti last year. However, when using the estrogen element I became very wired, jittery and anxious, weepy and low in mood etc so I stopped.,I am currently trying Estrogel and Utrogestan; I've been told to start with half a pump of gel for a month before starting the Utrogestan. Within a few days of starting, the familiar jittery, shaky, nauseating anxiety has returned. It really is a distinctive feeling and only associated with estrogen use.
My question is will this subside with time or does this mean that estrogen isn't my friend? I am off work for Easter currently so could battle through this awful feeling if I knew it would recede.
Any advice? Anyone else have this effect with estrogen use? Any advice would be gratefully received and thanks for reading.
