Day 2 today of Utrogestan and although its helping me sleep really well, I cant help but thinking it's making me a bit down in the dumbs.
I don't think I am Progesterone intolerant as I was fine on Femoston 1/10.  However at the moment, I'm not allowed any Oestrogel because of an impending operation.

I only need to take the Utrogestan for 7 days so that it induces a bleed before my operation which is endometrial ablation.  But feel very PMT like today, can't be bothered with anything and could quite easily fly off the handle! 

My inner critical voice has run riot today; that I shouldn't have been the operation because I'll put everyone out during my recovery, I'm useless because I can't be bothered to clean up and I'm rubbish because I'm an older Mum!

So having one of those days, can I just ask? Am I normal? Does anyone else think/feel like that sometimes?

You may be getting more side effects because you are not using oestrogen.   Just get through the next few days, get the op out of the way and then move forward.  Dg x

Hello Mis71Mum.

I can relate to how you are feeling.

When I am having a bad day my inner critic torments me and adds to my  misery and guilt.  I find that turbulent hormones  shred  my confidence but when all is calm I recover and that gives me hope for the future.

It's small comfort I know but you are not alone in your struggles and I wish you well for your procedure.

Take care.

I intentionally missed my U last night as I was so moody last night, it scared me. This morning woke up normally... Then actually felt the return of my sex drive for the first time in years, to drop like a stone a few hours later! That was a definite down spell as opposed to an anxious one.

Will take another tonight to see how things go. My poor husband today, bless him!

I even considered cancelling my operation earlier today until I got a HRT regime under my belt.
