I am taking utrogestan for the first time as hot flushes driving me crazy , I'm still having periods on and off at random times of the month I started taking this on the 1st of February so far the hot flushes haven't stopped and I haven't had a withdrawal bleed yet is this normal surely it's not normal to have hot flashes and a withdrawal bleed what is normal for this medication thank you!

Hi there.

I can't help with the sweats, but I'm trying natural progesterone myself right now.

What dose of utrogestan are you taking? Orally???

The progesterone, if high enough, will stop your bleeds... You should bleed if you take a break from it.

I've to take my progesterone cream for 21 days then take a break for bleed, then restart - if that helps. X

Oral for 12 days a month at night..

Ah, so you stopped on 12th? Today is only the 16th...i think you should expect your withdrawal bleed up to 7 days, but usually within 5. Your bleed comes as the progesterone levels drop.

What oestrogen are you taking? Utro won't stop flushes, it's oestrogen that does that. Utro should be taken days 15-26 where day 1 is the first day of your bleed.

Oestrogen gel 2 pumps in the morning.

It may be that there hasn't been enough of a build up or it may be that you didn't synchronise the hrt cycle to your own cycle and you're still producing your own progesterone. You may find you need a higher dose of oestrogen to control your symptoms but it's early days yet, you need 3 months on it to get the full effect.

Ok, thanks... In 16 days into my first HRT,  the sweating is much better , because that really really stressed me out to the point I would cry
