Hi, Sorry to bother you all. I have difficulty tolerating utrogestan orally - anxiety, itchy boobs, tried vaginally - local symptoms - went onto cyclogest, had bleeding, sorted bleeding but then was having bad urinary symptoms but I was getting better with lowering cyclogest and using lots of estrogen cream/moisturiser. I had a hysteroscopy to investigate bleeding and a Mirena fitted on Tuesday - heavily pushed that way by numerous medics. They had to dilate my cervix and filled my womb with water. The whole process plus biopsy took a long time (seemed a long time) and was v painful. Afterwards I started shaking, my teeth chattering, vomiting and had terrible labour like pains for about two hours, had to stay on the ward as I couldn't get up for two hours but then left without being admitted as I could walk. Overnight the first night I developed this horrible itching and being in my body felt awful, it wore off a bit during the late afternoon but is back again this morning. I also woke up really early today with horrible anxiety and I associate that with progesterone. I feel like I can't function at all and like I want to peel my skin off and just like 'oh no not this' because I don't feel like me, these are symptoms I associate with progesterone but also grotty maybe because I've not had progestogens since I was 18 and I stopped the pill because of it's side effects. I really was hoping (for some strange reason) that the Mirena might be the way out of my problems. Do I hang in here? Do I panic and call the GP? I spoke to the hospital ward yesterday and they said to take anti histamines for the itching but I thought I might be oK. I'm on a higher dose of estrogen. But now the mental health side effects are kicking in. I can barely face calling GP.
Does anyone have any experience of these side effects and them passing off? Getting better?
I can't believe how awful this has all been, I don't think I needed the hysteroscopy at all and I thought the whole thing would be fairly minor.
