Hi discogirl,
I've just finished the utrogestan part, 100mg utrogestan 12 days vaginally, and for the first time I've got mildly sore boobs. I'm on Estradot50, having switched from Evorel50 which did nothing!
I've also put on weight since starting hrt, which I'm glad of and I feel better for it, but like you say the oestrogen is held and produced in fat cells, so we could be experiencing increasing oestrogen.
I've been on hrt 16 weeks this time and the first 13 weeks with Evorel50 I felt zero good effects, just bad progesterone intolerance from provera and then oral utrogestan. I guess I'm just enough of a masochist to keep trying.
Now with Estradot50 I finally seem to be getting symptoms of increasing oestrogen, like sore boobs and reducing sweats.
Isn't that a good sign? Not if they're very sore of course, but it might settle down as a side effect.
Is the cyclogest giving you fewer side effects than utrogestan did?
