Hi Ruralrach,
Sorry your post must have been missed.
I take utrogestan vaginally and I think it alleviates some side effects, however it can still cause low mood.
My suggestion is though to give it time, it probably will settle.
If not there are other options and ways to take progesterone if you can't tolerate utrogestan.
Hope you get sorted xx

Hi Ruralrach
Yes unfortunately utrogestan is well known for causing mood issues, it’s the main downside for those who are sensitive to it. Personally it never got better for me and I’ve decided not to take it again. As Discogirl says there are other options x
