Hello lovely ladies

Could anyone give me their honest opinion on provera?, i have asked to start this to replace utrogestan as it gave me horrendous withdrawal symptoms and I mean BAD !

Hi Vicky81. I used Provera for years as treatment for endometriosis and have also used it in the past as the progestogen element of HRT. I got on absolutely fine with it. By way of a comparison, I could not tolerate either Norethisterone which is in Elleste or Levonorgestrel which is used in Femseven sequi/conti.  Hopefully you will get on fine with it x

Thank you flora! Very helpful xxx

Hi Vicky81… i use provera as part of my hrt . I use gel also . Having tried numerous progesterones and hated them all especially utrogestan , provera is the only one i can tolerate. I have recently changed to a continuous regime . Good luck

[Vicky81]

Hi Vicky81, good to hear the Provera is working well for you.  Could I ask what strength of Provera you are taking please? Alongside what else? Thanks...

Hi Hun

It was 5mg every 10 nights of the month. And was on the patch, but because the patch didnt suit me, (gave me heavy head etc) i am now on Zoely pill. I am doing pretty well toi be faire...hope i am not jinxing it!

I hope you get on with Provera....let me know....Utrogestan was AWFUL!!!!!

I also couldn’t tolerate Utrogestan at all!! I take 2.5mg Provera once a night continuously and I currently use one pump Oestrogel. I’m 57 and post meno.
