Sorry I am 49, still in peri, regular periods but in the last 4 months sometimes menstruating every 2-3 weeks. Drs think I may be low in progesterone vs oestrogen (I am spotting most days between menstruation for the last few months). Womb lining on scan is fine. Have an ovarian cyst. So it was suggested to reduce to 1 pump oestrogel or use utrogestan (100mg) vaginally for most of the month. I have never used more than 2 pumps oestrogel a day. Seem to tolerate progesterone well but am not sure if after 2 weeks it makes me feel low. Am worried about upping oestrogel dose to 3 pumps as I fear it making me feel wired/anxious.
My sleep has been up and down the last month, the month before I was using less oestrogel. When ovulating levels measured are up to 1500 and 2 weeks later down to 500. Meno specialist said stick to protocol and was not concerned about any of the above. Local Dr was more conservative and wanted me to reduce.
Been using HRT for just over a year now and really had no issues until periods came closer together and felt a little nausea.
