Hi herdity,I wasn't given the high dose for any reason,just another clueless gp who had to look in her book,I did mention utrogestan but she didn't know what I was talking about.when I said I had joined this forum,she was unimpressed,said it was only people who are having a bad time that we're on here,I was like hello,I am having a bad time,I was suicidal for 8 months last year,stupid woman we need support and we certainly aren't getting it from gps,who are not qualified to deal with the menopause,and who give the wrong hrts and can't wait to get you out the door.anyway rant over,I think I need some blood tests to see what is going on,and to recheck diabetes and thyroid,and vit d,I also think I could do with a scan to check lining thickness.i am on the waiting list for mirena,but I'm hoping I get to see mr Parsons before that happens.im thinking of trying estradot patch,as u have got on so well with it,and the sandrena takes so long to dry.i did try evorel conti patches but had sticking problems.what do u think? xx
