Hello Macjac
I'm on 2mg Sandrena plus 200mg utrogestan 12 days per calendar month.
Also under a private gynae.
I started on 1mg, really not enough, reviewed and increased to 1.5mg, which was better. Over a 4 month period I gradually increased to 1.75mg then settled on 2mg. My Gynae was happy to go with symptoms as a measure of how much to take, and I was still getting frequent night sweats and some almost flushes even on 1.75mg. I still get the odd night sweat now but very infrequent maybe one or two a month, and I'm not drenched.
Not sure how helpful that is - I guess it depends how confident you are to play with the dose a bit? And maybe also how you left things with your gynae?
I would just say if you do increase, do it slowly, and give your body time to settle in to the dose. You may be ok on 1.75mg
