When I started taking Utrogestan about 2.5 years ago I was on 200mg for 12 days per month.

At some point in the last 2.5 years my dose was changed down to 100mg for the 12 days per month, which I didn’t notice or realise.

Anyway, I was having an HRT review yesterday and the gp I saw noticed I was on the low dose too and asked why. Obviously I don’t know why.

I do know that once you move on to taking Utrogestan everyday you reduced down to 100mg per day but not when you’re still having a bleed etc.

Should I be worried about being on the lower dose for the last year or so? I was still having a bleed but it was definitely lighter than when I first went on HRT at the 200mg.

I just worry whether the dosage has had any detrimental effects such as the risk of womb cancer due to the uterine lining getting too thick.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I have been on 100mg for 12 days per month for many many years.If you having a bleed each month you should be fine. You can arrange to have a scan if you are concerned but if you use it vaginally,it goes straight to where it is needed  & I cannot think that you need to be cconcerned.
