Title: Alternatives to utrogestan!?
Post by: cocopop100 on October 12, 2025, 11:12:44 AM

Hi all,

I’m struggling with fatigue and low mood and generally feeling awful and think it’s the utrogestan. I’m on 100mg per day continually (vaginally) which I’m taking alongside 2 pumps estrogel.

My question is, what progesterone alternatives can I look at? My GP is clueless so I think I need to go to them with a request. I’m trying to research through all the brilliant threads on this site but the info is quite overwhelming! (While also being hugely useful!!) So far I have -

- cyclogest suppositories
- lutigest
- provera
- cerazette
- dydrogesterone
- prometrium
- zentiva
- tibolone

I’m sure there are more!!

Could anyone suggest the best place to start?

Thanks so much

If U run these queries on the back of your other thread, they won't get lost.

Ok thanks so much - will do. Think I just thought they were a bit separate but will post this question there too. Thank you
