Hi the BMS guidance says you can take 3 Noriday tablets ( Norethisterone)  or 2 desogestrel.

Hi Dotty

Thanks, I'm trialling the utro vaginally again, see how that goes and to be honest I have been looking at desogestrel.

Hope you're keeping ok xxx

This is an interesting thread and sorry to come to it late.

Discogirl, if the vaginal Utrogestan doesn't work out, you could try Cyclogest at a tolerable dose, it has fewer side effects.

I agree with bombsh3ll re synthetic progesterone and I would not dismiss it out of hand just because it is synthetic.  My migraine specialist floated the idea of Cerazet 75 because apparently it's well tolerated by women with migraine aura and can actually help to prevent them - it's important for women with hormonal migraines to achieve amenorrhoea via a stable level of hormones.  Because of my complicated history of migraines and constant monitoring, she said I could use 75mcg. 

I can understand why you would be reluctant to try the Mirena coil but what about one of the lower dose coils like the Kyleena or the Jaydess?

 I had previously been using cyclogest but had a massive bleed on that and I wasn't absorbing the cyclogest properly.

Was it ever suggested that you increase your cyclogest? Wondering because when I had to increase my patch to 75 a couple months back (still can’t believe I had to do that!) I found that 100mg cyclo wouldn’t cut it. I had to rapidly increase it to 200mg, which seems to work ok so far - I even suspect I might need more but I’m giving this dose time to settle. Point is, I’ve known some women to increase their progesterone by quite a bit to balance how their particular bodies process oestrogen.

MaryG - I was on cyclogest rectally I was cutting it so maybe using about 150mg and ended bleeding badly on it. If utro vaginally doesnt work I would consider cyclogest again but I would have to use the full 200mg and I would use it vaginally.

Furyan - Thats a thought about the kyleena or jaydess coil. I think i just dont like the idea of something like a coil being inside me. i mean if pills dont work you can stop them then and there obviously with a coil you cant. But its still an idea.. Kyleen and Jaydess must have less side effects xx
