Hi, Ive been on sandrena gel and 200mg utrogestran for 12 days for 3 months. During this time many side effects - sore boobs, bloating and cramping all month pretty much and weight gain, but also still getting mid cycle bleeding - which was one of the reasons for going on HRT initially - along with v bad moods, insomnia and various digestive issues and headaches. These symptoms have def improved. I'm 46 and still having periods. They were super heavy before HRt. Lighter now but still having this mid cycle bleed. Doc said to take utrogestran 100mg continually for 21 days instead so tried that this month and still had mid cycle bleed. I am about to go on holiday when the 21 days are up meaning I'd likely get a period mid holiday, so my question is, would it be harmful to keep taking utrogestran throughout the holiday to prevent period - and will it indeed do that or will I still get a bleed with such a low dose of progesterone anyway?? Thanks for your experiences and advice.
