I really was talking in genera not just about HRT , so much information out there and differences of opinion even results in scientific papers where the researchers have arrived at different results and conclusions.

I have trawled through a lot of stuff on a lot of subjects not just HRT and its enough to tear your hair out with frustration sometimes.

I suppose there must be a reason why it's not thought good that by taking it with food you increase the bio-availability. It sounds like a good thing but maybe not.

Well ladies, i've been out for food and missed all this chat.

Looks like we could go round in circles here.  Thank you for helping me out.

Took my tab when i got home, hopefully my food will have moved on!

Linsey I think like a lot of drugs, if you take with food the absorption is slower and less likely to irritate the stomach, if taken without food it

absorbs more quickly but may irritate, either way the Utrogestan will get absorbed.

Thanks SL, had a few days on new regime, so far so good.

Thanks to everyone for making this interesting

Hi just thought i would give you a wee update.

Thats 3 weeks on 2 pumps a day and 100mg Utrogestan, took a couple of weeks to settle in, but have now managed to sleep for 5 hrs without wakening up.

Hot flushes are reduced to a handful of warm moments, so i can live with that. 

Happy days.

Hi Linsey44
That sounds great.  How are you finding the Utrogestan stage?  Dg x

[Linsey44]

I am supposed to take it every day but felt tired so i am experimenting with it.  I didnt take it for 4 days last week and felt better.  Going to go without it for couple of weeks and see what happpens.

I have had hyster so it shouldnt affect me as much.

[Dancinggirl]

If you had a hysterectomy, why are you using Utrogestan at all? If you don't have a uterus you rarely need progesterone unless there is endometriosis which sometimes still lingers after a hyster and can cause problems.

Hi DG

I had adenomyosis in womb which is similar in many ways to endo, so consultant advised progesterone as well.

Im happy to go without it for a while and see what happens.
