Hi Polpringle
Unfortunately that can be one of the side effects of Utrogestan. Some women find taking it vaginally (same dose) reduces the symptoms compared with oral use. Other women have found like you are suggesting that a slight increase in oestrogen can somehow blot out the depressing effects of the progesterone on that part of the cycle. I find sometimes it gives me a hit straight away and then I get accustomed to the tiredness foggy head etc while I complete the course.
It's up to you really. You could try increasing by half a pump maybe? It depends how well you can cope?
I hope your mood lifts soon
