That's acceptable for someone still menstruating in their luteal phase.

Cyclogest is basically just micronised progesterone but if you haven't tried it vaginally already it is worth a go.

There is also tibolone which can be a great option for progesterone intolerant women - you would have to say you are postmenopausal to get this on the NHS though.

U continue here so that responses don't get lost?

Peri - those 10+ years when we may begin to notice differences in cycles, moods, diets ........ and menopause are 'natural'.  Symptoms though can become really difficult and uncomfortable so HReplacementT may help.

Some find that keeping a mood/food/symptom diary of use to chart progress.  Something to show medics for discussion.

Anyone using Cyclogest pesseries for progesteone?

Can you tell me how often you use it and how much?

Thank you

What I'm confused about is that if estrogen is so naturally fluctuating anyway and if I go back on estrogen (which did seem to be helping with mood) is that too much for the progestin I'm getting in mirena which from my understanding is only really thining out the lining of my womb anyways. I'm not getting any progesterone to help with moods, migraine and PMS.

Why are drs so against trying natural route?
They'll give me progestin (slynd) or destrogestin if I'm on estrogen.

Or are happy for me to stop periods and ovulating which I'm trying to avoid for the moment.

Not sure if need to ask these questions in other areas of the forum?
Thanks for reading

Thank you!!

I have been taking frovatriptans which help.
Diet pretty good. Eat a lot of veggies, grains. Last year found I was getting migraine with histamines so trying to follow a lower histamine diet. Hardly drink alcohol. Don't smoke.
Cyst on cervix. Might be related to coil or cervical. Lining of womb fine.
Guess what I'd like to do is try body identical progesterone first and remove mirena. But drs are refusing as it's not licensed on NHS.

I've been suffering from migraines for sp long now I'm kinda used to them so focus would be on low moods and feeling less erratic and low.

Do use the VA treatment every night with the occasional morning application.  It may take a few months B4 the vaginal walls soak up the treatment.

The coil is often the easiest way of delivering the progesterone part of a regime.  Nothing works immediately, if U are comfortable with it I would hang on for 3-4 months then review.  We are getting to that 'time of year' when we need to be as well as possible.

 

what support do U get with your child?

How old R U?  Which symptom would you like to ease first?

Migraines may well become troublesome at peri but there are modern medications that should help, been on the market about 12 months I think. U may need to ask your Surgery to research those.

Where was the lump found?

How were your moods during your menstruating years?  How is your diet?

Browse round, make notes ;-). Ask away.

They don't understand the fact that they are breaking the Law there because they have a 'green running man' over a locked door 

Because something gave
