Hello 😊
I was given Sandrena gel 1mg to take about 3 months ago, but the gp did not give me a progesterone tablet to go with it. When I went back I saw a different gp and she was livid as I still have my womb so gave me Femoston ( which I didn't understand as I felt great on the Sandrena) Within 2 weeks on the Femoston all my symptoms of dryness and itching, anxiety etc came back. So I wrote a note to the surgery asking to go back on Sandrena and to also have a progesterone pill. The gp did this giving me Utrogestan.
I am to take 100mg days 1-25 at night. When I got the prescription I was Day 11 of my cycle so decided to take it and will carry on till day 25 alongside using the gel.
I am now Day 14 and although my anxiety is starting to reduce I feel like I have been hit by a truck with fatigue (I do suffer with anemia as well) I am now wondering if it is the Utrogestan or my anemia that is making me feel this way or if I should of waited till my new cycle started before taking the pills.
Any advice or wisdom welcome - thanks
