Hello, looking for some advice.
I am on my third type of hrt regime, having started in May 2021. I most recently moved from elleste sequi to estradot + utrogestan. I take 2 x utrogestan for 12 days. This has been since late Dec 2021.
Mood seems much improved on this (albeit with blips, and has taken a long time). Also, work has been quieter over the summer, and I have dropped some hours too. So this perhaps also affected better mood.
The one downside to this is that every month I now get excruciating pain for a few hours, 2 days after I stop the 12 days of utrogrestan. It's crippling, am doubled over, can't stand straight + often laying on the bathroom floor for a few hours.
Hrt nurse strongly recommending mirena coil, says it's the gold standard, along with estradot.
I obviously want to stop these monthly pains but not sure about a return to progestin as opposed to micronised progesterone ie on mood.
Just wondered if anyone has any advice?
Thanks!
