Last month I had to change from my beloved 2 pumps of gel and cyclogest pessaries due to my son helping himself to my oestrogen 😭
The GP gave me Everel 50 sequi and all seemed fine until I got to the progesterone patches. I now remember why I hated synthetic progesterone in my 20s. Rage, moodiness etc and then a terrifying silent migraine. I thought I was going blind until the optician explained what it was.
Today the doctor changed my script to what I asked for originally - oestrogen patch and utrogestan pills. Great I thought.
Except he’s given me Estradot 25 instead of 50 and Utrogestan 100mg for 25 days a month instead of 200mg for 14 days.
Am I right in thinking this is wrong for a 45 year old woman in Perimenopause?
