Symptoms back when period due
« on: September 10, 2024, 06:03:16 PM »

Evening, started oestrogel about 7wks ago, 2 pumps, which was day 16 of my period so 12 days later my period came and it was back to normal(heavy and 4 days, compared to light and 1 days). I then started utrogestan 2 tabs on day 14 of next cycle. My period came 1 day later than due and lasted about 4 days but medium flow. Problem is 2 days before it arrived all my symptoms came back and have stayed even though I finished bleeding 4 days ago. My symptoms are fatigue, reflux, numbness in leg, tingling in face and a few other things.
I was advised that I could increase to 3 pumps after 6wks so as of today I have done that. I don't start utrogestan til next week but guessing that still stays at 2tabs? I have my 12wk review next month and will ask if maybe I need an extra pump during period time as maybe estrogen dips?
I'm also going to ask about testosterone, as someone who has pcos I have always been bothered with thick dark quick growing hair but over the past few months I have noticed I'm not needing to have as much.

Interested to know how you go with 3 pumps, I struggle with different symptoms (anxiety and mental health mostly) and am considering upping mine. I always always find I struggle mentally the few days leading up to when the progesterone ends, then 2 days usually goes by and a period comes, bringing with it digestive issues and more mental health stuff.

I think estrogen can help with the hair growth, as I've not noticed so much either. Let us know how you go with the 3 pumps
