Hi gals,
As someone here put it there is a 200(mg utro cyclic)club
I'd imagine that most are on it as it's the NICE recommended dose for at least 12 days I believe.
I've just switched from 100mg Utrogestan to 200mg vaginally I should add, and done nothing but cry each day, and been very down and dysfunctional none of which is not like me.
Do others have this too, is it a right of passage in the 200 club?
Also, I'm really ignorant as to what tests I should be having along the way. I've been on hrt for 8 months already and had none. Even though I am a tricky customer as my mum died of BC age 50. I have been cut loose to find my own way after only one gynae apmnt where he put me on Oestrogel, Utro and Testogel.
Gynae was more of a pregnancy specialist, he put me on 2 pumps O gel twice a week and 100mg utro for 14 days. it worked ok for 3 months but then....you guessed it it wasn't enough and my symptoms came back. So I gingerly upped it to where in the last month and a half lets say I've been on 2 pumps O gel plus 100mg Utro x14. Have only had a bleed once on about the 3rd month where I was on the lowest dose, none since. So now upped my utro to 200mg.
I have done some digging and have found a menopause clinic near me which is at Newnham court way or Spire Alexandra hospital Chatham both in Kent. Has anyone here been referred there I wonder?
Do I just go and ask the GP it refer me? Is there any reason why they would refuse this request?
Or should I just have relevant tests done at GP? What do you do?
Thanks in advance for any insights
