Hi again
Yes it may not be on the BMA list but it is still body identical progesterone like Utrogestan (not a completely different progestogen that might have other effects), just a different gel preparation, and so I am not at all concerned if is not on a list.
Especially as it is used in supporting pregnancy so it is not unknown, just not for menopause. Makes it more annoying that it is not on NHS prescription lists for menopause, when it is for other uses.
I have only looked at continuous usage for the post menopausal and there are studies to support Crinone in protecting endometrium in that case. The studied usage was twice a week, hence the every 3 days.
It does make you think that perhaps the Progesterone dose is just too high for some people with Utrogestan, if lower works for others using Crinone without the side effects.
Yes, will end up scanned shortly for initial check and then routinely after that. But would imagine if Ok initially, then will be able to ease that over time.
