Help please
I’m 50, still having regular short cycle periods. I suffer with anxiety and clench my teeth at night.
I’ve tried 100mg patch which seems to help the anxiety the best, utrogestan orally makes me feel terrible, taken vaginally is ok but if I’m late taking it a period arrives and it still makes me feel rubbish. I’ve tried continuous vaginal utrogestan but again my natural periods seems to always break through.
I tried Femoston 2/10 felt much better in myself but night sweats and insomnia returned. Topped it up with a patch and felt better but told you can’t do this.
Tried the progesterone only pill but this brought me out in acne and made me feel like I was wearing lead boots. However it did help get rid of some mysterious aches and pains and made my sore dry eyes improve….which makes me think I do need progesterone although it makes me feel bad.
I’ve come off the progesterone pill and now having a heavy bleed. I’ve gone back to Femoston 1/5 and a 75mg patch.
I’ve got terrible pain in my right side from clenching in my sleep.
I’ve seen a few menopause doctors they want to prescribe and send you away for 3 months with no help or guidance in between. It’s costing a fortune.
I had a mirena coil about 10 years ago before all this started and it made me feel terrible. So I’m nervous to try it again.
Can anyone offer some advice on here re a progesterone? The one in Femoston at least doesn’t bring me out in acne but you can’t get it on its own. Is there another one that would not cause this side effect I could take along side patch? I suffer with anemia and would love to stop the rollercoaster of bleeds.
Any help and advice would be very appreciated, am struggling x
