If there's any possibility they'll stop your hrt if it's too thick I'd be tempted to take utro early and hope you bleed before the appointment (appointment on day 5/6 for choice).
This is what I'm afraid of. When they gave me the appointment I was having my period at the very start of the calendar month, they told me they wanted me to try to nudge it into the following week or 2, middle of the calendar month. It's easier for them if all their ladies are synchronised. So I did that using utrogestan and luck. Now my period is the middle of the month. It's annoying they told me to do that without considering whether it was a good idea or not
for me!
I'm not sure I can bring it back in under a month because my body really doesn't care when I take utrogestan, I'll bleed before it, after it, during it, whenever my body wants but always with 24-34 days in between bleeds.
So if I take utrogestan early, say 24th July to 4th August, then I might have my period early too and pass their thickness test.
Or I could just go with a really thick lining and watch them panic as I say "I told you so". I'm sure they don't want to make unnecessary referrals either, maybe they'd do a repeat in a fortnight?
I'm only getting a scan because I bled regularly all last year on conti regimens, even though I thought I was post meno having completed the period free year plus some, without being on hormone treatments.
By October they decided to refer me for post meno bleeding, it's a long wait if I turn it down, so I won't do that.
I woke this morning in floods, emptied my 30ml menstrual cup three times so far this morning and still running to the loo urgently as well. I've period cramps, not too much nausea and feel wiped out. This is my third heavy period since the end of May, my first since switching to the much more effective for me, Estradot50 and it's the heaviest in a while.
I'm guessing it's heavier because I'm getting more oestrogen out of Estradot50 than Evorel50, that's how it feels.
