Hello, just looking for advice please.
For the past two weeks I have been taking my prescribed one Utrogestan 100 tablet each evening plus one pump of Oestrogel (GP did say I can increase to four). I swapped from the Evorel Conti patches as I started experiencing excruciating breast tenderness, that I simply could not tolerate.
Unfortunately, I have now started to experience stomach issues (which isn’t unusual anyway) but have a bloated feeling, alternate constipation and diarrhoea, plus a general feeling of anxiety and heart fluttering, especially first thing in the morning. I am unsure as to which (if any) product is likely to be causing the issue? I have been reading that the Utrogestan can be used vaginally if it cannot be tolerated through the stomach, therefore was wondering whether it is worth trying this? Can the same oral tablet still be used? Do I need GP approval first?
Also, for what reasons would you increase the Oestrogel dosage?
It is difficult to get a GP appointment at the moment to ask for advice, and she did tell me when I swapped from the patches that it can take up to 3 months for everything to level out, but this is beginning to feel like a bit of a slog! With the exception of the hot flushes and brain fog improving, I am still experiencing interrupted sleep and low mood.
Oh, the joys of menopause! Thanks in advance; any advice would be greatly appreciated!
