I have been taking utrogestan orally for 2 years, 12 days a month. Last month I decided to trial it vaginally to see if it would help my reflux.
This did seem to help but I think I am absorbing a lot more vaginally as it meant
A) I had a delayed but much heavier and more uncomfortable period. Usually if happens day 10 of the utrogestan, this time it was on day 6 post utrogesran
B) I got a lot more pms symptoms and spots
C) I am now getting hot flushes again which I have not had for years
D) My resting heart rate has shot up by 15 points
So I am wondering if my absorbing more progesterone vaginally is decreasing my oestrogen levels? I now feel I need to increase my patch or go back to taking it orally as I understand I should not cut the utrogestan dose? Really wishing I had not messed around with this now as things were not too bad and I now feel awful.
