Hi
I’m most likely progesterone intolerant grrrrrrr.
I’ve got estrogen and testosterone implants and stopped utrogestan for 6 weeks to see if it made a difference as felt really awful after the progesterone cycle each month.
Had a really steady 6 weeks and then had the Mirena coil fitted. Really bad reaction so it came out 8 days later and I still feel rubbish ………feels like I’m back to square one even though the implants were started to have a good effect 😩
Just wondering how long the after effects of the progesterone in the Mirena can last ……?
I’ll be having a hysterectomy later this year as need the estrogen HRT but simply can’t tolerate the progesterone.
Anyone had a similar experience and how to long to ‘recover’ after the coil was removed?
Thanks all! Xx
Hi
I don't know much about progesterone intolerance, I just came here as I noticed you had not received any replies.
I did a search on progesterone intolerance here, and there are plenty of threads.
https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=search2IMPORTANT - If you still have a womb, don't stop progesterone, it opposes oestrogen.
I don't mean to alarm you, there is a risk of cancer with no progesterone, best to be safe than sorry.
Some women don't like the Mirena coil, yet others do.
I don't know about mirena.
I hope the threads on that link help you feel less alone and good luck with your hysterectomy.
