I have been on utrogestan now for about 9 months. Looking back, I had abdominal pain for probably the first 4 or 5 months but wasn’t sure if it was diet or HRT. I can now say was HRT, and most probably the utrogestan. However now I am fine with it and can generally not tell I’m taking it through the day.
That being said, I have just this week changed my timings, now taking both my sandrena (oestrogen) and utrogestan at night as this is suggested by the patient leaflet and also as my periods have still not settled into a routine. I think the result of this timing change is that I am now feeling more drowsy in the mornings.
I do however feel like I may need more oestrogen as I am starting to get hot flushes back again, and some other symptoms have not improved as much as I would like. I am on the lowest dose so do have room to manoeuvre upwards, just a bit anxious about doing so.
