Hi everyone,
Ive just had a telephone appointment with my gynaecologist and wanted to run his recommendations past you all.
Ive been on 4 pumps oestrogel and 200mg utrogestan from day 14 -28 for 7 months now. I'm 51 and as far as I'm aware I'm still in peri.
The majority of my symptoms have improved but I'm now finding my periods are super heavy/clotty and very painful. They almost always occur during the second week of utrogestan and not on withdrawal from it.
My gynaecologist recommended increasing the utrogestan to 300mg as he said this would regulate the cycle and reduce blood loss. Is this correct?
My other option would be the merina if this doesn't work. Although sometimes he said this can make things worse...
He's also booking me in for a pelvic scan where they will take a biopsy of the womb lining just to check nothing else happening unrelated to the HRT.
Having only just stabilised in the last month I am very nervous and wary of messing with the hormone levels. What does anyone think? Shall I increase to 300mg??
Any thoughts and advice gratefully received!
