Hi everyone,
I haven’t been on here for a while as I’ve been trying a conti regime which I’ve now been on for 3 months: 100mg Utro vaginally every night with 4 pumps oestrogel (3am, 1pm). I kept going with it, although I’ve felt blooming dreadful, just in case it started to get better. It didn’t get better for me, it got worse. I’ve felt exhausted, headachey, spaced out, depressed, brain fog and a shadow of my former self.
I’ve obviously decided that’s quite enough, point proven and next trial please. I didn’t take any Utro last night for the first time, feel very slightly better but not expecting to feel much better for a while obviously as I’ve no idea how long it will take to come out of my system.
I can’t decide whether to try Utro 100mg every other night or give my body a break from progesterone and try a long sequi cycle. Im terrified of sequi as the withdrawal can be devasting for me so I’m not sure which way to go. I really don’t want to take Utro again tonight but I’m worried I will be so bad with the withdrawal that I won’t be able to function next week (& it’s a busy one with deadlines).
Does anyone know btw what a long cycle on 100 Utro might be? Is it 4 weeks oestrogen only followed by 2 weeks of Utro? I think to go back to sequi, it would either have to be a long cycle (to make the withdrawal trauma worth it) or just 7 days off a Utro a month so the withdrawal doesn’t last too long (mine can go on for some time).
I know no one can really help me but myself in this situation but any advise or thoughts very much appreciated x
