Hi all
I have been on HRT since June - on 75 patch and struggling with progesterone. Have taken both utrogestan and cyclogest and have struggled on both. I start ok on it - some days it can make me feel great - but by the end of week 1 i am a hysterical, suicidal mess and extremely greasy with huge night sweats. I have never been able to take the full dose and only manage 1 week a month (had a scan and all ok). This month I could only do 3 nights - it also now gives me insomnia ?? I had a period after the 3 however. I am also overalll having a hideous menopause and not tolerating anything well.
I understand that the coil does not provide the calming element that you can get from body identical and have read reports that it can be worse for women in my situation - any advice out there ?
Thanks xx
