Hi Ladies,
I have recently started Estrogel 1 pump and vaginal Utrogestan 100mg continuous for the last 10 days although I was on a half pump of the gel for a couple of weeks beforehand.
After taking the Utrogestan for 6 days I started to feel really ill and achey so I am now using it alternate nights. Not sure if this is a good idea but I felt so out of it and I have seen Louise Newson recommends this.
In the last 24 hours I've had horrible uterine cramps like I used to suffer in the luteal phase of my cycle. My 40s was ruined by these symptoms. I have multiple tiny fibroids which the gynaecologist said could be stimulated by HRT so will be scanned in 6 months. I am concerned that the HRT is causing the cramps but am not completely sure if it is my own body and maybe I am going to have a random period. It's almost one year since my last period minus a couple of weeks. I was 49 and a half when this happened.
Has anyone else had cramps like this on HRT? If so does it settle? I've been feeling so much better on the Estrogel and I'm loathe to give it up. Any advice gratefully received.
