Title: Utrogestan 100mg Every Day
Post by: Burchers on July 11, 2018, 06:54:17 AM
I had a thought this morning. I'm taking this orally could it be this that's upsetting my tummy.
I have Colitis and have to take Imodium also daily to keep bowel movements down.
I also suffer with anxiety I'm wondering if these are upsetting my tummy and my body thinks it's anxiety starting.

I take Estrogel 2 pumps twice a day and Estriol daily.
I'm also on Mirtazapine 15mg,Vitamin C and Zinc, Vitamin B12 Vitamin D, Propanol 40mg 3 times a day, Balsalazide .

For me it's constant anxiety which is ruining my life.
I just want to feel better.
I've had therapy and do breathing exercises.

Hi it could be the Utrogestan that is upsetting your stomach. When do you take it?

Every night before bed.
All my other symptoms have improved just the anxiety. Then I thought this morning could it be a dodgy tummy and I'm assuming it's anxiety.
I'm also having flushes in a morning feel groggy and just off first thing in a morning

You could try taking it at a different time of day or some ladies take it vaginally.

I suffer from severe ibs and I could only take utrogestan for 6 days it gave more terrible diaherra and awful sickness feeling. I was hoping my body would get use to it but had to stop because of symptoms.

Interesting enough oral progesterone caused constipation in my case. I had intensified IBS symptoms when I went on HRT. Not sure whether it was the estrogen or progesterone causing that though...
