4 x Oestrogel/12 days Utrogestan 200mg
This is my second attempt (previously stopped after 6wks as my hair was falling out and acting weird - my hairdresser was really worried about it).
Three years on, I decided to give it another go (it's safer than taking Femston 2/10 & I like the idea of bio-identical as I've always struggled with progesterone).
The pros: I sleep a 'little better' (my continuous symptom since 2013). The cons: Thermostat is off-piste again. 'Angrybird' is an understatement. I am horrid! I know it, but the mist comes down and watch out! I get period pains after sex (thankfully, I have low sex drive, so this is only once a week). I appear to be getting male-pattern baldness (my new hairdresser, has commented how much thinner I am on top - it's frightening as shes only been doing my hair for 4 mths). I have cystic acne all the time, instead of the occasional zit. My rosacea has flared up again, which has been very subdued for a good year or so. As if I couldn't look any more undesirable ..... I think it's causing Hirsutism. I already have enough facial hair for several women, but it's taken off & growing like wild fire.
Has anyone else had this reaction?? I have another appointment with a different Gynecologist in November (private), but I'm 13yrs into this & desperate! I don't want go bald! My chin is growing a second head (with hairs) & the aggression is really horrid (especially for those around me). Any advice would be most welcome???
P.s. I've been taking this combo for nearly 4mths (previously on Femston 1/10 and 2/10).
