Hi there,
I’m 50 this year and have been having menopause symptoms for a few years - night sweats, low mood, erratic periods. My GP tried to give me anti depressants at first but I persisted with asking for HRT and was prescribed Everol Sequi. I get on with the 2 weeks of estrogen patches ok and symptoms improved a lot, but I don’t get on so well with the progesterone and get spaced out, anxious etc.
After giving it 3 months my GP has now prescribed the same Everol 50 patches and 100mg Utrogestan nightly for 25 days. I questioned if this was ok as I was still having regular periods before starting HRT and she insisted it was. Is anyone else on this regime and still peri menopausal?
I also got no advice as to when to start the new regime of Utrogestan. Should I start after taking Everol 50 for two weeks? I’m currently day 5 of Everol only patches and finishing a withdrawal bleed. I’m so confused and googling has confused me even more. Thanks so much for any advice you can give me.

Confusion reigns, :welcomemm: Browse round. Make notes ;-).
Some find that keeping a mood/food/symptom diary useful.
Hopefully someone will be along with advice.
