Hi everyone, havent been on this website much recently, but looking for a bit of advice and reassurance. Ive been on the oestrogel 200mg utrogestan regime for about 12 months and was doing really well.
Im 59 now and been period free for about 10 years.
Because i was feeling so good i have been reducing thr gel to half a pump every other day and utrogestan only for 6 nights as hefty dose for low oestrogen dose.
I asked gp for 100mg pessaries which are another type and i feel awful on them so stopped after 2 nights.
My anxiety js flooding back, palpitations every day in the afternoon (odd), id forgotte how low i got without this regime.
Also got tinnitus from time to tjme whjch is a pain in the whatnot!!
Ive gone back up to 1 good pump of gel a day but when shall i start the utrogestan as havent had bleed for months.
(I have 6 monthly scans a,l ok), do i just count today as maybe day 14 of utrogestan dose. Im confused as to where i am in the cycle now, but going back on the 200mg utrogestan pessaries.
Is this why im beginning to slide into that pit?... ? Do hormone requirements fluctuate well into post menopausal years? Just feeling so isolated with it all, and im the only woman on tbis regime in my gps surgery apparently so gp pretty much relies on this website😊thanks everyone , lilyloos x
