I am so pleased, after a visit to my GP today she has prescribed me Utrogestan & Estradot 50 even though she didn't have a clue about them! I actually had written down the info about both/does etc and she had to look them up as she had never heard of them  I can't use them until tomorrow though as the chemist has to order them in. Now my problem is regarding the dose of the Utrogestan, I am going to begin taking it orally to see how I get on (even though I am a migraine sufferer) but the pack comes in 30 & I know the dose is usually 100mg for 25 days or 200mg for 12 days, which one will I do?? And will both produce a bleed as I am now 17 months post menopausal and would rather not have any bleeding? My GP had no clue so I asked the pharmacist and she had to look it up in her book & just said take 100mg for 25 days out of your 28 day cycle (which I knew) & I said "I don't have a cycle??" but she was just clueless so can someone advise please? I am wondering why can't we take them every day like a conti regime? Thank you

You can take one every day 25 days as a conti regime if you are post meno,many choose not to at first so they can see how they get on with the utrogeston 
Maybe you need to try this way first if taking it orally especially to see how your migraines might be

I was prescribed the same as you....the meno specialist I saw said to take the 100mg for 25 days, at that time my last period had been 8 months previously.
She gave me the option to take it orally or to use vaginally if I got side effects.
