Thanks Freda, I've also read quite a bit on it all especially estrogen dominance and low progesterone, I've been told I'm progesterone intolorant ( not 100% sure on this )? But trying to work out why I initially felt so much better when I started oestrogel and testim then had my first month with Utrogestan (took it for 7 days) and felt awful or thought I felt awful, low mood back, loss of libido etc so haven't taken it since then, this was back in September and my mood etc is still low

I've continued with the oestrogel and testim but wondered if I could be estrogen dominant now? I have lots of symptoms for this and also low progesterone symptoms.
I'm still wary of taking Utrogestan but I'm trying again on 1st November this time I was going to try it vaginally.
I'm also wondering if because I was told I'm prog intolorant and that I will probably feel bad on it that I felt bad because I "expected" to? If that makes sense?

I started treatment for low ish estrogen and very low testosterone back in June but have only had 1 round of Utrogestan, so 7 days worth since then!
Could this be why I feel so down in the dumps, very anxious, nervous, bloated, headaches, dizzy, bit spaced out etc etc and if it is should I try it orally again or vaginally? Does it have the same calming effect when used vaginally?
I did ask prof Studd who's treating me about trying prog cream but he said it doesn't work?

I suppose what I'm thinking is that maybe I'm not prog intolorant (just imagined feeling worse while taking it) and that I feel bad now because I actually need some?
