Hi everyone,
I have been reading all the posts on the forum about different types of progesterone and am thinking about asking the doctor on Friday if I would be able to try Utrogestan along with evorel oestrogen only patch to see if it will stop the bleeding.
I was wondering if there was anyone else on this combination and how they found it.
I don’t think I would have any problems getting Provera but it seems if she will give me it Utrogestan is better as body identical?
I feel like I am guessing here and I am just hassling the doctors - I feel like if I go in the phone and ask for something specific I have more chance of getting something to stop the bleeding…
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks everyone xxx
I'm on evorel and utrogestan.
Here's my story.
I needed the max dose of evorel to stop symptoms - 100mcg.
I bled, and got scan, slightly thickened womb lining, so they did hysteroscopy and no cancer.
GP reduced me to 75mcg evorel, ok for a bit, bleeds returned.
Reduced to 50mcg, ok for a bit, bleeds returned.
Reduced to 25mcg, ok, I think, I get brown spotting on my pad, light brown, can't tell if pinkish, I get a bit neurotic about bleeds, I don't worry about cancer, I just don't like mucking about with hot, as 25mcg not enough to take night sweats away, I think, possibly, the reduction in oestrogen caused a bit of anxiety, but I am not sure whether anxiety is a symptom of lack of oestrogen.
I would like to know if anyone can tell me please?
Don't let my story scare you.
Loads of women post here.
I guess women on large oestrogen doses don't bleed and some on small doses do, and the majority of bleeds are not cancer.
