Title: Thought it was too good to be true...
Post by: Nula on September 19, 2017, 04:39:46 PM
Hi ladies.  Me again!!

I've been on my new regime of continuous combined Estradot 100 and Utrogestan 100 and for the first 6 weeks I thought it was the answer to my prayers!  I felt so much better.  Sadly, over the last week, I've had really bad IBS (I've already switched taking the Utrogestan vaginally over a week ago as was feeling really tired),  really bad acne, my hair is falling out, I'm super groggy in the morning, feel a bit head-spinny throughout the day, all topped off with a good dose of intermittent nausea! 

Does my experience chime with that of others?  If so, any tips!?

Thank you as always.

Sounds like the Utrogestan. Maybe try another progestegen and see. It makes me groggy too. The head spiny I got with the gel, but I think it was just too much estrogen
