I am having the same problems with the gel and Utrogestan.
I was on Femeston 1/5 conti. Is it worth trying that? You may be post meno.
I am having the opposite problem that the 1/5 was not enough (flushes, palpitations and anxiety returning). Tried the gel/Utro combo and had a terible time. Now just gone back to 1/5, but have doubled the dose as I was told by my consultant that this is ok and in fact a friend has just been told the same thing by her GP.
