Hello I am a 50 year old peri menopausal female.  I have tried 3 types of oral tablets on a sequi combination but unfortunately I have reacted badly to the progesterone type of all (PMT symtpons, bleeding, tearful, headaches, down  etc) .  Therefore my GP has advised I need to try a more localised form of Progesterone and I am booked in to get the Mirena coil in around 12 weeks time.  In the meantime I have been prescribed to take Oestrodose gel every day and a Ultrogestan vaginal pessary for 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. Before I commence this interim regime until I get the coil I am really interested in peoples views and if anyone has experience of this combination? Or whether I should just go HRT free until I get my Mirena coil fitted?  Views/advice/experiences really welcome please. Thank you

Hi I guess it depends how badly your Meno symptoms are. 
If it were me I would wait. I wouldn't want possibly to be worse but conversely you might settle and come off it to have mirena fitted,but that's just me.

Thank you.  Have you ever tried or heard of the Gel/Pessary combination? Thanks x

Yes many here use it,indeed I did for a while.

Yes great thread that one - very long with lots of info and experiences!

I'm the opposite of dazned - if it were me I wouldn't want to be without my HRT! Two weeks maybe but not 12. I stopped HRT 6 years ago, and after 3 months without it all my symptoms had come back - including ones I hadn't had before, so I went back on and stayed on it ever since.

Up to you of course - you might fancy trying this for a bit and see how you get on.... whatever you decide do let us know and how you are?
