Hello ladies
I take utrogestan for 14 days of the month to cause a bleed. Are there any other types of progesterone other than tablet form? I am on the gel to supply the estrogen.

No , I was j urial oh put in them to help with heavy bleeding having them for 3 week then a week off in which I had a withdrawal bleed which was horrendous ! then I went to see a consultant and she said 12 weeks then a week off . I had hysterisvopy and biopsies done , everything came back ok apart from a small polyp which needs removing and at that point the consultant said I could stay on them all the time. He did want me to have ablation or coil but j didn't want that .

Hi Michelle. I don't think there is, but your doc or gynae would know for sure. I also have the progesterone depo provera injection (synthetic progesterone for contraception, & it is not licensed for the progesterone element of hrt for unknown reason to me(my doc told me this & I've read it somewhere) which is why i also have to have utrogestan capsules. the utrogestan capusle are only for hrt purposes & cannot be used for contraception purposes (not that i feel any libido at present). How are you getting on on the propranalol? xxx

It has brought my heart rate down a bit so that's good. Regarding the gel I've been rubbing it on my shoulders/arms,is that ok? It seems to dry within a couple of minutes. I seem to feel jittery when I'm taking the utrogestan I find. On another forum a few ladies have felt this way xx

That fine Michelle. just keep it away from breasts, & make sure your skin has no body lotion or perfume on from the daytime (thats why i do my thighs, as I'm a BIG perfume love - i find comfort from all my lovely scents!!!) You could ask your doc if you could increase the propranalol to help with the anxiety after checking your bp of course. xxx
