As I hit 50 last September, I wasn’t allowed to take BC anymore, so have Progynova and Utrogestan.
Estrogen is fine, really helped, Utrogestan is a nightmare….. I’ve been on BC for years and just kept taking it as I didn’t want periods, so never knew if I was still having them naturally or not, so my Gyne, suggested 200mg for 12 days a month! Never have I had pain like it, and it’s all over the place.
One month crippling pain after 2 days taking it, and heavy bleeding. This month, cramps in the middle of the 12 day cycle and no bleed, then a week later here I am on day three of pain so bad, I can barely move and bleeding.
I don’t want to bleed, I’m pretty sure I read that you can take another pill to stop shedding/ bleeding on top of the Utrogestan? Any ideas anyone.
Also, has anyone got a link or paper on stats for endometrial cancer whilst on Estrogen? I’m seriously considering just ditching the Utrogestan if the stats are fairly low.
