Fed up!
« on: July 09, 2025, 05:42:20 PM »

Hello.   I am Peri and still have periods however they are usually quite light for two days, but are irregular and make me feel really crap before and during.  The doctor said I can go continuous with Utrogestan, however I haven't at the moment as I'm on holiday in a couple days so didn't want any side effects (if any), so still taking it sequentially. Now, I am really fed up, as my period should have been and gone (coming up to my 5th week),  and at the moment,  literally nothing,  apart from feeling rubbish!  Should I ask the doctor for Norethisterone, or just continue with my Utrogestan to try and delay it as aren't they both the same, apart from one being man made? Thanks for your help.

Stick with what you are doing, go on holiday being prepared for a bleed: pain relief, pads etc..  Then review your regime.

My periods waxed and waned for several years: regular, then miss months, then ..........

If you're still peri daily utro won't be strong enough to stop your periods but there are other bleed free options if stopping them is important to you. If you want to delay this one see your GP for norethisterone though if they're like my GP you won't get an appointment til after your holiday anyway.
