Hi Nellf,
I hope you had a better night last night, it can be soul destroying trying to keep it all going when sleep deprivation and heartburn are tossed in the mix as well as everything else.
Those seem to be my two main side effects from utrogestan 100mg dosed vaginally, unfortunately the heartburn's still awful even though it's reduced when dosing vaginally, there must be a systemic action causing it rather than a local reaction.
The UTIs sound draining too. Can you improvise an inserter tool? Like maybe cutting the end off a neurofen syringe, then you could try dosing utrogestan rectally. Some people use a finger, disposible gloves come to mind plus lube of course. I've done it with other meds and if I develop a problem with taking it vaginally, I'll go that way instead. It must go at least two finger knuckles deep to get absorbed properly.
I sometimes use omeprazole, but it makes me nauseaus after a few days, by a week or ten days I stop it again because any ulceration pains will be easing by then and I'll need to feel better from the nausea.
I recently bought a CBD vaporiser, it was reduced from £35 to £17 and I was going on holiday, to England actually, where THC isn't allowed yet and I thought it would be a reasonable substitute for getting to sleep. (Note the price, cheap ones are basically empty of CBD and don't work.)
I was surprised, it didn't help with sleep, not that I noticed, but it was amazing for anxiety when I was away and I'm still using it now even though I'm home and can do my own thing again. I plan to buy another when it runs out (non refillable unfortunately).
Someone sent me this link for a factsheet on medical uses which I found interesting.

I asked repeatedly can I use utrogestan vaginally, spoke to maybe four different people from both the GPs and the HRT clinic, who all were going to find out and get back to me. I'm still waiting for all of them and using it vaginally anyway.
