Hi Jmargaret,
I'm 48 and had been having symptoms for two years, had hot flushes, night sweats, very emotional, crying all the time and don't get me on the brain fog and clumsiness!!!
I started on 2 pumps of Estrogel but had quite intense anxiety, dropped down to 1 pump and was fine, also had v tender breast which high strength evening primrose oil twice a day sorted.
Regarding the Utrogestin, I take 200mg orally day15-26 and actually feel better on the progesterone phase.
I've now gone up to 11/2 pumps of Oestrogel after my first cycle as felt some of my symptoms were coming back.
For me HRT so far has been great, most of my symptoms have gone, feel like me again which I haven't felt for a long time.
I spoke to the doctor tonight and I'm thinking of having the merina coil as I seem to get one well with progesterone and did have one about 20 years ago and was fine on it.
Im presuming that your sensitive to Utrogestin to be on the regime your on? As I thought the normal dose is 200mg for 12 days x
