Hi Everyone
In my last post in November here
https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,41884.msg660304.html#msg660304 I said I would let people know the results of my uterine scan when I had them.
A quick update first: I discharged myself from the Panay clinic and back to my GP after the last appt there in November.
I gradually increased my Estradot patches from 75mcg to 100mcg - I pushed through the temporary increase in bloating and breast pain (EPO helps). I have been on 100mcg for a couple of months and can
finally sleep without flushes most nights. I have the occasional mild flush overnight (perhaps one night a week) but not usually enough to keep me awake for long, and the occasional mild flush during the day, maybe once or twice a week. I feel 'normal' again too. I am aware that 100mcg of oestro is considered a high dose BUT, if I don't absorb well (as my blood tests and continuing symptoms suggested) as the doc said "high dose is a meaningless term".
I have been using Utrogestan 100mg P.V. every other day for several months now.
The Panay clinic ordered the scan because I am not taking Utro daily.
My scan yesterday showed nothing untoward. My lining is patchy and irregular but this is apparently quite common after menopause. I am glad that, for me, this regime seems to be working fine with no build up of uterine lining. Perhaps this will give others who are struggling with taking Utro every day (as I was) some hope in changing their regime, with their doc's advice/knowledge so they can have a scan too
