Hello
I have just switched over to Estrogel 1 pump a day and Utrogestan vaginally every other day. I was scared of the Utrogestan because of something that happened in the past, but I'm wondering now if that was actually the high dose of oestrogen patch I combined it with and not the Utrogestan!
Anyway, it's early days but so far so good. My hormone doctor was happy with this. I had gone to ask for a Mirena but she said that only looks after the uterus really and progesterone has a lot of benefits other than lining maintenance so I was persuaded to try the Utrogestan. I asked if I could do it vaginally and she was fine with that. She suggested the every other day schedule. Perhaps, if I get on alright with the dose then I'll try it every day, or even try taking it orally to see what happens.
I had started Estrogel at 2 pumps a day but soon started to feel a bit wired and anxious. She said it was too much and to let my body get used to things slowly. As I said, so far so good, despite a lot of stress due to the heat and work.
