Utrogestan and Evorel query

<< < (3/3)

sheila99:
If you have evorel conti you have no option except to be on conti. If you have patches with utro the overall dose and therefore the prescription is the same whichever you're on so you do have the option to stay on sequi. I didn't get on well with utro either but most people are fine, and there are probably more who don't tolerate norethisterone than utro.

Thanks, so it's worth a try with Utro.  I was fine on norethisterone at first, felt better on it, but that was 3 years ago.

Unfortunately a gp has told me I cannot stay on evorel sequi as it's 'not safe' at my age.  I could see another gp but it's virtually impossible to see anyone at the surgery currently anyway unless urgent.  So private it will have to be when I can spare the funds.

I do wish they would stop talking sh*t. You catch them lying once and never believe them again. It's only 'not safe' if you allow your lining to build up. And it's time they admitted the 'every woman is meno by 54' mantra is a pack of lies. You may be fine on conti but if you're not because you still have your own cycle there's no need to go private if you're on utro, you can use the same prescription and they'll never know.
  The nhs meno clinic specialist agreed I could stay on sequi at 62ish and I'm assuming she knows more about safety than a gp.
