Hello,
I'd be very grateful for any advice or information please. I'm 59 post menopause.
After many attempts at HRT I finally thought I'd found the perfect regime for me, I've been on the following for 3 months and 2 weeks:
2 pumps Oestrogel
1 x 100mg Utrogestan vaginally alternate nights
1 x Imvaggis pessary alternative nights
This was a game changer for me, I felt like I'd returned to my old self, I was interested in life again and found a bit of VaVaVoom - it was wonderful.
I had a few silent migraines - no pain but lots of zig zags - and a number of days of spotting.
However in the last 3 weeks I've had quite a bit of bleeding sometimes lasting for 4/5 days at time, like a period. Also 2 weeks ago I had some really intense auras, and also I've had some breast tenderness
I'm not sure what part of HRT causes what side effects as it's so individual and also both oestrogen and progesterone can seem to cause similar side effects from what I can make out!
So I'm not sure what to do? I know the recommended dose of Utro is 100 per night but, even vaginally, I don't think my body will take it. I've wondered about 2 nights on and 1 off?
Or should I try reducing my estrogel from 2 pumps (I did feel a bit wired when I started on 2 pumps) to 1.5 pumps and see if that stops the bleeding, auras and tenderness?
Or do I just hang on and hope that things settle down.
I don't have an appointment with my HRT Dr until mid July and she wanted me to take either 100mg utrogestan vaginally every night or 200 mg vaginally every second night.
I had a scan on in January and my lining was OK but I have a few grape sized fibroids.
Any advice would be gracefully received
Thank you so much
