Hi Fiona,
Thank you for sharing, sounds like this could be it then. I am really tempted to consider progesterone even though I have it in the Evorel Conti, the fact I have little deep sleep and feel so bad I am bumping into things and unable to feel safe to drive is now a desperate situation!
I have decided to invest in a Menopause Doctor privately but in the meantime researching all I can. I feel I am intolerant to progesterone, when I was younger the pill affected me so bad, also the Mirena Coil had to be removed as it made my breasts very painful and awful PMS. When I had my children and breast fed, I developed a lot of issues with fibrous tissue that caused no end of problems which needed to be surgically sorted out. This is why I need to look at the pros and cons. I am going to read up on progesterone used internally as a pessary as an option as well. What a minefield!
