New HRT regime Advice
« on: June 08, 2018, 04:30:25 PM »

My doctor has given me a new regime to try . She has put me on Utrogestan 100mg and Estrogel.
We wanted to try Mirena coil and Estrogel but apparently I'm at risk of uterus perforation due to my ablation I had in 2016.
I'm feeling a little apprehensive but totally willing to give it a go.

I hope that works for you Burchers. Is that a womb ablation that has ruled out you using the coil or some other kind of ablation?

I've had that procedure and had no idea it affected coil use. I hope the utrogestan works well for you. It seems a popular choice

We were trying to avoid tablet HRT due to having colitis and having sensitive stomach.
Been on Femseven Conti for 6 months and Estriol Cream. Just still feeling out of balance

That sounds sensible to me but I understand you feeling apprehensive. It's all so complex and individual but utrogestan seems to suit many members. I hope this regime is the one that works for you. Keep us posted

Good luck 🤞🏻

Yes definitely. I was told wrongly I had to try without estrogen cream once I started HRT but that made my VA flare up badly. VA is unfortunately for life so carry on using the cream
