Hi, I started Elleste Duet 1mg 2 months ago. The first month was great, both first and send halves of cycle. This month though, everything is great while I'm on the oestrogen tablets, then as soon as I move on to the white progresterone tabs, I get varying symptoms from dizziness, bad crying spells again, tiredness, aches and pains and just flat, low mood. Doctors surgery are rubbish, can't even get a GP telephone appointment for a month. Has anyone else had this?

Hi,
I’ve tried estrogel and utrogeston and now i’m on Evorel sequi. In my experience the second half is where i lose my energy and feel tired and a bit flat. I’m also constantly hungry in them 2 weeks which isn’t ideal!
I don’t know if it’s just some people are more sensitive to progesterone than others but I just put up with it as it’s better than feeling lousy the whole month through!

Same,

I've been extremely tearful, had bad mood swings, fed up, and the rest. It seems to affect me a bit worse with every month so that it's becoming a major issue.

Progesterone intolerance is a real thing. I'm at odds as to what to do about it bcz not only does it make me feel crappy for 14 days, it affects my poor long-suffering and gentle husband who has to live with jekyll and hyde.
