Elmsy. I thought I had a build up as I was so tired and depressed.i was exhausted.xx

[Dotty]

Hi TC - being tired and depressed for me is a sign of low oestrogen. If the Utrogestan is not causing you to bleed then it is doing it’s job and keeping the endometrium thin. X

[Hopeful1]

Can anyone help? I'm on a sequi cycle and I'd like to reduce my estrogel from 2 to 1 pump a day. Do you think I could also reduce my utrogesten to 100mg (1 pill a day x12 days) to maintain the monthly bleed? Hope that makes sense..

I will check with my gp first but wanted to see if anyone had done this?

[Cassie]

Hi yes you can I am on 1 pump and take 100mg utrogestan for 12 days per month, but often go as much as every 6 weeks.

[Goosieloosie]

I have also tried the 100 X 12 days a few times over the last 3 years & I always end up bleeding anywhere from day 7 to day 10  I have never managed the full 12 days without a bleed so now I alternate with 100 days 1-3 then 200, 100, 200 & so on & I find this works really well for me & I have my bleed at the usual 3/4 days after finishing the course. I also go roughly every 6 weeks. I'm 57 & almost 5 year's post meno. Due to an upcoming long holiday I was planning on going 7 & half weeks between cycles, can anyone advise if this would be okay?

Good morning Goosieloosie

There quite a few women on the forum who do long cycle but I think most of us are in our 60's but I'm sure it would be ok as a one off. Have a lovely holiday.

Thank you, we have a very busy summer ahead with family plans so I'm hoping to be fully rejuvenated to face it all lol!

Hi again, I'm on my second months of taking Utrogestan and have started a bleed half way through (day 15) is this normal? Postmenopausal.

[Dotty]

Hi Tracey breakthrough bleeding can happen in first 6 months of starting hrt x

[Tracey E]

Really, last month I did the 25 days in and 3 days off. I may just take it all the time and see if I fair better..

[Dotty]

Hi Tracey Yes bleeding can be expected in first 6 months of starting hrt. Your GP should have told you this. Any bleeding after 6 months needs investigating x

[Tracey E]

Is there a natural progesterone that comes in the patch format.? Utrogestan orally causes me stomach upset and vaginally isn't working either. I just feel like giving up on HRT all together...

[Dotty]

No there isn't . The progesterone used in a patch is Notethisterone.

You could try Provera which is a capsule like Utrogestan. Done ladies find that Provera suits them better x

[Cassie]

Why is it not suiting you vaginally?

[Tracey E]

Causing irritation Cassie, did wonder about using it anally, has anyone tried it that way...
