Hi,
I started on Oestrogel last month and finished my 12 days of vaginal Utrogestan and started a period 3 days later.
In 2014 I had an endometrial ablation to help with period pain.
My periods became shorter and lighter and then as peri menopause kicked in my periods became less frequent.
Now that I have started on Utrogestan I cannot believe the pain I am having with my first period on HRT.
Pain wasnt even as bad as this before my ablation.
I desperately need to know whether this is what to expect with the Utrogestan as if it is, I cant go on taking it. I have a feeling I am progesterone intolerant.
This is my first try of HRT post breast cancer 17yrs ago.
I thought my HRT would be the safest and lowest dose possible for me but I do not think I can stand the Utrogestan. I am bloated beyond belief along with this almost unbearable period pain that goes right into my back passage.
Advice please from anyone else in a similar position.
Many thanks,
Sprocket
