Thank you Alicess - I really do appreciate you taking the time to reply.

So, yesterday was the worst. That's 14 days after stopping the coc and I was getting true vertigo. It was horrific! Interestingly the first time I was diagnosed with labyrinthitis, I was pregnant - perhaps it wasn't labyrinthitis! Is this what fluctuations in my hormones do to me I wonder?

So. I can't do nothing as I am getting worse. The 20/150 coc gave me dizziness and severe nausea, bug not quite as bad as I am on nothing . I take your point about the progestin. I knew it was the same , that's why I picked it as, despite the low mood, cerazette took the nausea away. I've been on cerazette for years before with no problems, so at the moment I want to stick yo that progestin.

I'm going to go with the idea that the double dose of progestin in the gederal 20/150 versus cerazette has caused the ramping up of symptoms. I have ordered 30/150 gederal to pick up tomorrow. My brain tells me it will make me worse...... But I'm truely hopeful that the low estrogen is the problem.

The only good thing to come out of all this...... I now know it is my hormones!!! Something the gp was not buying into.....

I think a lot of symptoms of hormonal imbalances are not recognised by GP's or specialists yet. Estrogen has an effect on the inner ear according to science. One of menopause's symptoms is tinnitus. There is a list with 34 menopause symptoms somewhere on this forum. Pregnancy can also cause a hormonal turmoil.

I think it's wise to stay on the same progestin but change the estrogen dose. That way you can figure out what works or what makes your symptoms worse.

I hope you will try your new pill for at least 6 weeks, even if it gets worse at first. When I first changed to the pill that turned my life around (for the better) I felt awful. Thankfully I thought I caught a bad flu so I persevered. Keeping a diary of symptoms may also help....I tend to remember the highlights only (the worse and the best days)

I will keep my fingers crossed for you and I would really appreciate it if you would give an update on how you are fairing.

Take care 🌷
