How many progesterone tabs for 3 pumps gel?

[CampingHappy]

Hi I have been on continuous HFT for 2 years - 55, no periods - but I think I need to increase from 2 pumps of Oestrogel to 2.5 or 3 due to increased anxiety & feeling flat.
Does anyone know whether 2.5 or 3 pumps of would require an increase to 2 x 100mg progesterone tabs daily? Thanks

The guidance from the BMS is 'consider' 200mgs a day on pumps 3-4 of gel.

It depends on whether you get any bleeding when you increase your gel. That's the sign of the lining becoming thicker and shedding.

It's not a mandatory' you must use more Utrogestan.'

Thanks that's really helpful. I'll give it a go with 2.5 pumps first and see if that can make a difference and if not move up to 3.
My doctor said 3 pumps is a 'grey' area but helpful to understand re bleeding. I'll keep an eye on that.

You can't really do half a pump. My GP advised 2 one day, 3 the next alternately. Yes, 2 Utrogestan I was advised.

You can do half a pump. I did for years.

It won't be 100% accurate of course, but the way to do it is either pump one full dose into your hand and discard half, or just press the plunger down roughly half-way. Doing 2 pumps one day and 3 the next is likely to give you more side effects as your estrogen level will be up and down.

Thank you. I'll try 2.5 pumps with 1 progesterone for now and will kerp an eye out for any bleeding.
