Lots of us ladies are progesterone intolerant, and we are all so individual as to what can and can't be tolerated. I buck the trend a bit as was on Femiston 1/10 and doing ok, then my doc moved me to patches/utrogestan to try and combat headaches which felt too strong, so back to Femiston last week and things have calmed down again very quickly.
Actually just back from a GP visit this afternoon, I am very lucky to have such an amazing (and male) doctor in my corner. He said that as we head into menopause, that even ladies who never had PMS symptoms can really start to suffer, the peaks and troughs of our own hormones are much bigger which is why it's so horrible.
Hope you find your groove soon, lovely. (Another one in late peri). x
