Hi
I had a biopsy recently (all clear) after continuous spotting for ten weeks (lining 8mm). I spoke to Dr Currie after getting absolutely nowhere with my doctor. She made a number of recommendations. I'm currently on a 50 oestrogen patch and 100mg utrogestan continuously.
One suggestion was to drop to 25 or 37.5 patch. I dropped to 25 and the bleeding stopped YAY! But now I'm not sleeping and feel wretched in other ways.
Second suggestion was staying on 50 and moving the utrogestan to 200mg. I got a letter from the hospital where I had my biopsy this morning, funnily enough, saying "take 200mg utrogestan" so they agree with Dr Currie! Thing is - how long would you do this for? Forever? Or just for a bit. They both say "to control the bleeding" but once it's controlled I assume one goes back to 100mg and veers back and forth as and when?
I spoke to my own doctor about it and she said no! You can't take 200mg continuously it's not recommended dosage, this is unlicensed! She recommended an evorel conti patch instead.
I'm happy to try the 200mg utrogestan but wonder if anyone has done this continuously, or if it's just a temporary thing? My doctor got into a right tizz about it.
