Gave up after 7 days, 2 days of withdrawal and now I'm bleeding and a much happier bunny - in fact I even swam in the river this morning (yes, a water bunny....)

LanzaLover, is Provera another micronised progesterone rather than a synthetic one? How do you take it ie is it available as a pessary or do you have to take it orally?

Provera is the prog in depo Provera isn't it.? The injection.
I had that before I got sterilised, also because I couldn't go on the pill.
Apart from a little weight gain, I absolutely fine on it.....

Go for it Racjen, you've got nothing to lose.....good luck...

Hi Racjen

The proverbs is a synthetic progestin - like norethisterone and levonorgestrel. You can have it as an injection 3 monthly, or it is also available in tablet form. Why not google it, and see if that might suit?

Just another thing, how was your pmt pre surgery? And are you able to ask for a total hysterectomy? At least that way you won't need to worry about progesterone at all.

So glad to hear you're feeling better xxx

I think I must've answered that in another post - I always had pmt, worse at some times than others, but never particularly severely and less as I approached perimenopause.

I wouldn't want a hysterectomy unless it was the absolute last resort and guaranteed to bring relief from the daily anxiety, which is unlikely to happen. Having a mastectomy was bad enough, I really don't want to add the knock-on effects of hysterectomy to everything else.
