Hi, hoping someone can help… have been on hrt 2.5 years, I’m 51. Have mostly been on cyclical oestrogel and Utrogestan, though firstly tried continuous over a year ago. Having recently had a very fast heart rate, I cut down gel from 4 to 3 pumps and was advised to try continuous, 100mg Utro vaginally,daily.
I started this just over 2 weeks ago. This week I have had a period which is making me feel extremely ill, crampy, not much sleep, flu-like symptoms… I’m now off work. I feel I should go back on continuous as clearly I still have my own cycle, which is far more unpleasant than the withdrawal bleed, and I don’t think waiting for 6 months will change anything.
Wondering when I should stop taking 100mg utro and start the 200mg Utro if I go back to cyclical? My period started on 5th Feb, and I’ve been taking 100mg Utro each eve since 22 Jan.
Thanks in advance!
