Thanks kiltedcupid.
Thanks for the tips and for the link hurdity. I'm going to look into it.
Have you gone to 100 utrogestan whilst still on the cycle? I know you were having some problems with it. Hope you find it works better for you.
I started the utro 100 vaginally 3 nights ago. I've already had a migraine and my mood has taken a dip. I'm going to be on it conti now. So I'm hoping the migraines will settle as they did last time on conti.
I still havent got a date for mirena fitting. It's in my wardrobe!! They gave it to me at my appt . It mustve shown on my face when I saw the size of the box. The pharmasist said "dont panic, it's not that big" ![Smiley :)](https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/Smileys/extended/smiley.gif)
They insisted its fitted at C and W. so my mirena will have done a full circuit of the district line by the time its fitted.

Thanks Tc yes I have. I had shortened my cycle to 5-ish weeks so only a bit longer than the normal 4 week one - so figured that 12 days vag at 100 mg might be plenty. I have recently had a scan after all my varied cycles ( before changing to 100 mg) due to occasional spotting before time - but it was very low approx 4.7 mm so I figured reducing the prog would probably be fine if I shortened my cycle. My GP is very good in referring me for scan if ever I get spotting., and I have had a couple of private ones through Ultrasound direct. She pretty much gives me free rein to do what I like within reason as she knows I know my body (over years of experimentation and results from scans).
How are you feeling on the conti utro now? Hopefully no migrainea?
I can definitely say I don't feel as bad on it (100 mg) as with 200 mg - well not this cycle anyway. The foggy head just wasn't so intense. I had a day of headache on the 12th day which I thought was going to be a migraine but took a Sumatriptan and it didn't come back. However I have never taken it longer than 12 days so no idea how I would feel after this point.
Thank you Ladybt28, that was my understanding. Perhaps there needs to be a change in the details as listed on the treatments section of the forum in order that ladies are fully informed and can consult their docs accordingly, particularly if they're struggling with Utro.
TC - thank-you too.
No change in details are needed because there has been no change in UK licensing for utrogestan and this is what is put into the treatments section. I don't think MM recommends off-licence treatments. Often there are enquiries about vag utro on here so that's where women get their info from - posts on here and other forums referring either to their gynaes' recommendations or the studies which investigate efficacy of some of these off-licence regimes.
