Hi,
I wonder if anyone else has this and if so what did you do? I have hunted around the site, maybe I am missing something due to my malfunctioning brain (what's left of it).
When I was on 50mcg oestrogen (first Oestrogel but then changed to Estradot as oestrogel wasn't working so well) I struggled (as so many on this site, with the progesterone).
I was given Utrogestan and initially tried 200mg progesterone vaginally and was not even able to get out of bed I was so drowsy. I just couldn't stay awake or vertical, literally!
Next month, after two weeks of fairly uneventful oestrogen, I tried 100mg Utrogestan.
The symptoms were pretty dreadful.
I was completely jittery and wired, the muscles in my legs complained and felt like cramp, the insomnia was extreme, I would lie awake until around 6am before finally falling asleep. I couldn't finish more than 6 days.
As a result, my relationship with Utrogestan has not been plain sailing.
I am now on 75mcg Oestrodot patch and am still having the same issues if I take 100mg although the 200mg option is not quite so bad I still can't stay awake...
Is there some inbetween version or something where I can balance the two?
