Am hoping that the wise women on here can advise. I've posted before on threads about FemSeven Conti going out of supply. The alternative I have recently started is Femseven 50 patch and 100mg Utrogestan continuously. I didn't feel great on the Utrogestan but have tried to persevere however now, in the first fortnight of taking it, I am having a bleed with cramps (also feel nauseous)...still going strong after 5 days. I had contacted the menopause specialist GP I saw recently, about not feeling too good on the Utrogestan who said why not take a break as I was going on holiday and try taking it vaginally on my return. I didn't stop straight away, again thinking I should perservere, but on the second day of the holiday the bleed started (ie whilst I was still taking it.) I then stopped taking the Utrogestan and the bleed is continuing as above. This might be complicated by the fact that I had a cortisone injection into my knee before travelling and have found out by chance that this can also bring on menstrual bleeding in a percentage of women.
Any advice gratefully received. I have emailed the specialist to ask for another appointment in the meanwhile.
