Hi...
I posted a couple of years ago when I first started getting peri menopausal symptoms and decided to go down the herbal route.
The last 6 months all symptoms have been getting worse ie flushes, night sweats, brain fog, rage! Aches and pains, tiredness etc.
I saw the doctor today and she agreed to give me a prescription of Oestrogel and Utrogestan.
We had a bit of a discussion on how to use the Utrogestan caspsules, so she said there are two choices,
1. 200mg once daily on days 15-26 of each 28 day oestrogen HRT cycle
2. 100mg once daily on1-25 of each 28 day oestrogen HRT cycle
She also said I had to take them orally after I mentioned that I had read you can take them vaginally.
She did say there are pessaries you can take but can't prescribe them as they cost too much.
My question is, which regiment shall I take and do I wait until I get my next period until I start( I'm on day 9 of my cycle).
Oh I forgot I'm 48 and still having regular periods 21-25 day cycles, used to be 30+.
Sorry for such a long post
