Water retention/thirst due to utrogestan

0 replies

Wonderbug81 · 19/10/2025 12:02

Having done some research, I've just realised that my increased thirst/water retention and dryness (including vaginal) is due to progesterone (Utrogestan 12 days a month orally 200mcg).

I only get these symptoms during these 12 days so pretty sure it's Utro causing it. Also get what feels like pressure/sinus headaches.

Any tips beyond drinking more water and using eyedrops etc?

I already use Vagifem/Ovestin/Oestrogel plus Yes for reference.
