Progesterone intolerance
« on: July 20, 2022, 07:32:20 AM »

Morning ladies, I was on continuous Utrogestan for 18 months and continued to have bleeds. Now under a new specialist who wants some investigations, not concerned but wants it ruled out. I have been put on 12 days of the month utro to see if I am I tolerant as I can’t seem to get my symptoms under control, anxiety, fatigue the main ones. I’m day 8 without it and only thing that has changed is I’m sleeping so much better. Sorry for the ramble but my question is if I was I  intolerant would other things have improved? Is it out of my system by now? I’m on Everol 75 and was advised to increase dose after a month. Thoughts appreciated x

My feeling is that you’re not intolerant because you wouldn’t have been able to tolerate it continuously for 18 months if you were. To put it in perspective I cannot take it for longer than 8/10 days without being very ill indeed x

Thanks Perinowpost. I think the specialist wanted to rule out that it wasn’t the utro that was causing some of my issues, today my anxiety is particularly bad and thinking I should increase my patch, just wanted to clarify if the utro would be out of my system by now as I don’t want to change 2 things at once, hope that makes sense !

The worst of it always out of my system after about 3 days. It usually takes me a further week to feel back to my old self. As you’re 8 days post utro I should say most of it will be out of your system. Although as you have taken it for so long it may take slightly longer. If you continue to feel better day by day that’s a sure sign.

Hope this helps x
