Hello everyone. I posted a while ago about wanting to try taking utrogestan 100mg vaginally on 25 days out of 28, along with my usual 37.5mcg Estradot twice a week. For background, I’m 45 and suffering from horrendous heavy and painful periods which actually got worse on the 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off utrogestan regime. I can’t have a Mirena - long story.
Anyway I asked my GP if I could try the 25 day utrogestan regime as others in my situation have found it helpful. She emailed the local menopause clinic whose response was, No, she’s too young for that regime, she should just get a Mirena.
Basically I’m raging. How is daily vaginal utro any different to the localised prog you’d get from Mirena? I feel like I’ve been sentenced to maybe another 10 years of debilitating periods for no reason. I can’t even work on days 1-4 of my cycle, it’s so bad.
Just looking for any other suggestions or advice. Thank you so much.
