Hi everyone, I’m new to this site. I’m in my 30s and in surgical menopause after having my ovaries removed (still have uterus). In January I started taking HRT which changed my life! I’m now on oestrogen patch 150, testosterone gel, and 100mg utrogestan. Due to my complex medical history I see a specialist at Newson Health.
I was taking the utrogestan continually, but over the months I got more and more bloated and felt ‘hormonal’. It got to the point I just stopped, had a bleed, and felt much better. However, since then I’ve been taking the utrogestan continually again, but have been having constant bleeding (there was no bleeding before) Any advice? It’s been 2 months now and it fluctuates between spotting and light period. My last Newson appointment was 2 months ago and she said I could try taking utrogestan cyclically, but I wanted to get the bleeding under control first.
Do I stop and ‘get all the blood out’ and start again? Do I try a higher dose? I desperately just want the bleeding to end! I’m also a bit concerned about whether the utrogestan is doing its job, as if there is all this bleeding is it really thinning the lining? Thanks
