Hi, I wonder if anyone can advise me please. I note this subject has been brought up a few times on the forum over the years, but I haven't found the exact answer to my question.
In the last six months I reduced my estrogen patch from 75mg to 50mg ( I'm currently using Progynova weekly patch 50mcg) and upto recently was using utrogestan vaginally every six weeks or so and then having a very heavy withdrawal bleed. I realised that I'm probably not using enough progesterone, or not frequently enough, which is why I bleed so heavily. ( Sorry to be graphic but they were more bright red bleeds with just a bit of clotting). I'm trying to transition to continuous progesterone to eliminate the bleeds as I'm 58 now and don't want the hassle anymore. I started oral utrogestan 100mgs about two weeks ago and felt fine really on it. However a couple of days ago I started bleeding again, almost pouring, but this time with quite a bit of clotting. I figure that my lining has probably built up and needs to shed and I'm hoping in time that the bleeds will subside. My question is , should I stop the utrogestan while I'm bleeding and at which point should I start it again to ensure minimal lining build up. Also, going forward should I take it every day or should I do a 25/28 regime?
I would be so grateful for any input.
