No oestrogen now for a month and feeling fine.
As my last cycle of Utrogestan loomed I knew this was going to be the last. I'd started to grow increasingly miserable at the thought of the progesterone phase and the following bleed and after 9 years I feel I've simply reached the point of "enough is enough". I'm happy that I've given myself 9 extra years of bone protection which with my family history of osteoporosis was one of my main concerns.
This time, I did things slightly differently because I stopped my oestrogen just prior to starting the Utrogestan. Oddly this was a relatively good Utro experience with hardly any side effects!
Whilst I'm aware there's always the possibility of going back onto HRT should I choose to, and if I don't leave it too long, I seriously doubt that will happen because my mindset's changed - at 62 I just don't want to take it any longer. I'm ready just to go with the flow now!
