Hello all,
I'm 45 and in the past year have started suffering from food intolerances and anxiety at certain times of the month. I also get very weepy on certain days and utterly exhausted on others. I occasionally wake up feeling like I've have a hot nights sleep but don't suffer from full on hot flushes yet. I have trouble remembering things and that is getting steadily worse.
So I went to the docs and she agreed to put me on low dose hrt for perimenopausal symptoms (my periods are still pretty regular). There is a history of DVT in my family and I had a suspected one having taken the morning after pill.
I've been prescribed evorel sequi patches for the whole month with Utrogestan for days 14 - 28 of my cycle. I was happy with this until I realise that the sequi patches contain a different type of progesterone that can cause anxiety. I'm reluctant to start this now.
Does anyone know if it's possible to use estrogen gel all month and then use Utrogestan for days 14 - 28?
Thanks in advance.
Rose
