Difference between progesterones........?
« on: January 19, 2015, 01:57:23 PM »
Hello ladies

Can anyone shed any light on the difference between these two progesterones please.    

Norethisterone 170 mcg and Levonorgestrel 7 mcg.

I am thinking about changing from the evoril conti patch to the Fem 7 due to ongoing bleeding problems after a year on it.

Thanks x

They are just different jillyrich! The dose is worked out so that they have a comparable effect on thinning the endometrium. Some women experience side effects on one not the other, or both or neither - it's a matter of choice really. They are both synthetic progestogens.
