I had no symptoms, barely any bleeding, but a recent scan shows too thick a lining in uterus so with 2 week rule I have a hysteroscopy, biospy and scraping on Wednesday. I have been on 1 utrogestan oral tablet 100mg every night and 2 pumps of oestrogel 2 pumps. Always felt good, unaware that the progesterone wasn't fully protecting my womb. I'm 56yrs and been taking this HRT for about 6 years.
I have tried without success this week to speak to a clinical nurse for advice at the hospital via email, online forms, phone. No reply. I've really tried multiple times. No support at Cheslea Westminster at all! After 4 days trying I've given up.
I was told Friday to switch my progesterone to NORETHISTERONE but after 2-3 days it made me feel terrible (nauseous, bloated, cramps, dizzy) so on Tuesday I've quit it all. I stopped all my HRT completely as I can not get advice not even from my GP. That horrible norethisterone is out of my system and I feel better. Shall I
1. Just stay off all the HRT as I feel better though I continue to have mild pre-menstrual type aches and bloating which the norethisterone kicked off?
or
2. Go back to my previous HRT of utrogestan and oestrogel because that never made me feel ill?
Will stopping the HRT cold turkey do me any harm?
Maybe I should call the general NHS advice line but I don't think they will know the complexities of HRT.
Thanks all and fingers crossed for this dreaded hysteroscopy
