I wondered whether anyone had any experience of getting GP to prescribe a progesterone only pill whilst in perimenopause?
I'm keen to follow Lara briden who supports this.
I was taking estrogen patches and on mirena coil still for hormonal migraines, low mood and pms but just felt really off on the patches and decided to stop them. Feel better, less bloating but still having terrible mood swings.
Drs aren't keen to prescribe progesterone only because it's not licensed on NHS.
Wondering if anyone was successful (if so what worked with your GP?) or if having gone down the private route did uou feel prog only was helpful?
Thanks for reading
