Thanks so much, Taz2 and AgathaC - your kind words have already helped me so much!
And re not knowing much about PCOS, I don't think anyone does, not even the experts! It's different to the menopause but I was staggered by how much the symptoms seem to overlap, which is why I needed to check I wasn't going through early menopause.
Taz2, thanks also for the suggestion about posting in the New Members section, will do!
It would be interesting to hear more about Utrogestan from those who have used it. I have a lot of stress in my life at the mo (don't we all?!), so it's difficult to know exactly what's causing what, but my mental health really deteriorated when I went from taking 100mg Utro at night for 21 days of my 4-week cycle to just 10 days. The whole time I've been on Estradot 100mcg, so maybe that's too much estrogen for me
My lovely consultant seemed a bit baffled because he said usually his patients can't tolerate progesterone, but I know I sleep better when I'm on it.
Anyway, enough waffling from me! Thanks again both of you, you have no idea how much I appreciate your kind words!
