Hi Mojohn
![welcomemm :welcomemm:](https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/Smileys/extended/welcomemm.gif)
Not sure what you mean by 14/14? Do you mean 14/28 ie 2 weeks out of a 28 day cycle? Unfortunately some of us do suffer side effects from utrogestan taken at the doses needed to protect the endometrium.
If you are taking it orally, one option is to try to take it vaginally when there are fewer side effects. I have never taken it orally but even vaginally I get vivid dreams, feel brain-fogged and tired in the mornings, and it also wakes me in the night to empty my bladder. I also take it cyclically - now down to 5 weeks which I do not relish.
I think our bodies change as we age ie generally I sleep much deeper than I used to so the effects of utro make it even worse. Also as we progress through menopause and our own cycle changes, we will react differently even to the same dose of the same products.
Hope you feel less fed up soon. There are alternative progestogens if the side effects become too troublesome.
