I have been taking utrogestan orally for around a year and after getting on well with it for a while, I'm increasingly experiencing very low mood and tearfulness towards the end of the 12 day course (I'm 42 and in peri). Sometimes it's not helping my sleep either and after having an awful sleep, I feel really ill the next day due to the added drowsiness it causes.
I want to take it vaginally, but the gp sought advice from the NHS meno clinic and they apparently said it doesn't provide the same protection for the womb if used this way.
It'd be good to hear the experiences of others who use it this way. Is it OK to use the oral tablets in the absence of the pessary form?
I am at the point of considering trying the mirena coil, but worry that the constant supply of synthetic progesterone will cause more side effects.
