Was there a reason you were given Evorel Conti as these are for ladies in post menopause ?

If you’re still in peri menopause and still having periods then a Conti regime will cause more bleeding.

The best way to take Utrogestan in peri menopause is 200mg for 12 days every month.

Also if the 2mg pill stopped working and you had symptoms back then it’s likely that you need more oestrogen. One pump of gel is a lower dose than a 2mg tablet. x
