Hi, I'm 49 , peri, been taking hrt ( oestrogel 2 pumps every morn and utrogestan for 14 days pf month, 2 tablets a night). I'm finding the utrogestan is great for improving my sleep but I feel it also makes me tired throughout the day , and very moody. Also, I get a pain in the left hand side of my lower abdomen every time I start the the 14 day part of the regime, for a few days. My periods are irregular , didn't have one last month, and before that I went three months without a period . I am also two months into using testogel (has not kicked in yet) , just for reference.
My question is , would there be a problem if I just took one tablet at night instead of two, to reduce the tiredness during the day, for either 14 days , or, I know a lot if ladies take one tablet every night, throughout their cycle. I have an appointment to see my gp, but not for another 3 wks, nightmare getting an appointment, plus she isn't that knowledgeable anyway !! Need to get rid of this grumpiness and fatigue. Feel miserable. Happened last month too!
