6 years ago I started hrt on evorel sequi. I had no side effects on the conti patches but developed an allergic reaction to the glue. I've been on sequi utrogestan and gel/patch for the last 5 years. It isn't great (by any route), disrupted sleep and sedated all day. There is no way I'm taking it continuously. Tried a mirena but the cervix wouldn't open so they couldn't get it in (perhaps I had a lucky escape). Changed to noresthisterone with the aim of a conti regime. Now on day 8 and sleep is getting progressively worse, it's gone from waking up at 6 am to 3.30. Also not impressed with the 5mg dose when only 1mg is needed or the increased risk of clots and liver problems.
What is the shortest period I can take it for to ensure a bleed? Not sure how much longer I can last.
What next? Any point trying anything else or it back to utrogestan?
