Starting HRT:how much Utrogestan to 1 pump gel

Hi
I am starting HRT and have finally found a local pharmacy stocking the Utrogestan.

My doc has prescribed 2 pumps Oestrogel daily and 1 x 100mg Utrogestan capsule every day at night (I am 54, periods stopped last June).

I am really keen to minimise the risks and start with 1 pump of gel but would I then need a lower dose of Utrogestan?

Pharmacy have put aside another 30days of Utrogestan but what happens after that if they are unavailable again?!!

I am pretty scared of starting HRT due to the cancer risks but hope to not be on it long term & just get through this tough period (lost mojo/feel flat, anxiety & panic attacks espec. when driving (never had this before), separated after 17yr relationship at Xmas, 2 sporty boys 16 & 14 plus work full time so mega busy) - so if anyone can simplify the cancer risks that would also really help me.

Thanks 😊
