Where am i going wrong i just cant seem to get the dosage right i was on 3 pumps and 100mg continuous ultrogeston and was bkeeding really heavy my gp increased the ultrogeston to 200mg which i take vaginally, the bleeding stopped but i felt terrible on the higher dose i managed 10 days and couldnt do it anymore so i decided ti try 2 pumps and back to 100mg that was 8days ago i feel absolutely brillant and feel like my oldself is back but ive had really bad period pains the last 3 days but no bleeding only a slight colour in the mornings nothing really any suggestions be grateful as im just hoping i dont have a full blown period as im off on my holidays next week and really hoping i dont have a heavy period im 57 and been on hrt for quite a few years but changed to this one a few months ago after having polyps removed gp said it was a safer option

Have I tried to help you before here? Rings a bell!

Some women don't absorb Utrogestan that well. One question is if you are inserting it properly. It has to go right up as far as you can, so it gets right next to the cervix- that's where it's absorbed. And use at night so it doesn't leak out too much during the day (which can happen to some women.)

However, even having said all of that, ALL continuous HRT comes with the warning that erratic bleeding is to be expected for up to 6 months until the estrogen and progesterone work in synch and the lining stays thin.

Maybe you just need to give it more time?
