Only feel OK for 2 weeks of the month

I’m 47 and still menstruating.
I’ve been on Oestrogel (2 pumps) and utrogestan for about 10 months.

I only feel normal when I’m taking the Utrogestan. When I’m on the 2 week break, I have frequent migraines, anxiety, tearfulness.

I’m going to speak to the Dr once I can eventually get an appointment, but will they be able to do anything?

I clicked on this thinking that we had the same problem - but we don’t, it’s the opposite, as I feel great for the first two weeks but so awful on the Ustrogen days, I wish I could stop taking it!

I have read that some women take 100mg of Ustrogen through the month, instead of 200mg for 12 days, even if they still have periods, maybe the Dr will recommend that for you?

Maybe we could swap!! I’ll take your Utrogestan days 😂😂😂
