Hi All,

I’ve been doing well on Cyclogest for a while on 200mg conti. Consultant agreed I could go down to 100mg by cutting pessary in half or using alternative nights. This was the beginning of February.

By the end of Feb, symptoms started to creep in - all over itching, bloating/water retention. I’ve been told to try to go back to 200mg as low progesterone can cause all these things. Anyone else this has happened to?

Sorry admin, no idea why this was posted twice!

Hi Evie,
I am sorry that I can't comment on your experience, I am sure you will get replies regarding this, but would you mind letting me know why it was decided to lower your cyclogest? I am now taking 200 Utrogestan due to breakthrough bleeding and I wonder if to carry on and if being on high continuous may be harmful.

Hi Stella,

I’m only on 3/2 sprays of Lenzetto (around a 40 patch equivalent) and I’ve no bleeding, I asked if I should be on the lower dose of 100mg as that would be the equivalent to the Utrogestan conti which I was on before. Consultant agreed but said if bleeding started again then I should go back to 200mg. No bleeding but symptoms as per post. She never said anything about risks of being on too much Prog, only too little.
Hope that helps x
