HRT progesterone which one ?

[Jenkibubble]

Finally got some HRT (I’m 43, symptoms low mood / anxiety - extreme and apathy , rage , brain fog / dizziness as well as weight gain around middle , aches , sleep disturbances and fatigue unlike anything experienced )
Periods are still regular (vary in flow though )
I’ve been prescribed progesterone tablets and oestrogen gel .
Im wondering whether to do mirena as dose is lower and localised (insertion pain isn’t a concern as have copper coil at moment )
Has anyone experienced both ? Which better ?
The GP has also told me to take the progesterone 100mg everyday but surely it’s only half the cycle ?
A bit confused
TIA

Hi @Jenkibubble . Your GP seems to have given you the wrong instructions for the progesterone. It’s 2 pills 14 days off then 14 days on if you are peri. The one pill every day is for post meno.
I would try the pills and see how you get on with them before considering a Mirena. There is nothing to lose trying seeing as you’ve already been prescribed them!
