Ovestin

I've been on Ovestin for many years but 5 years ago I had a big post meno bleed. On ultrasound it was confirmed the lining was thick and a biopsy was sent off. Thankfully that came back clear but I was given a coil for five years. When that was removed 2 years ago I was advised
to go back on Ovestin for 12 weeks, have a break, then continue another 12 weeks etc. Just started back on it and feel soooo tired and slightly upset stomach. Can't remember whether this happened before and it's a normal side effect. Maybe I've just forgotten. Any advice would be welcome.

I can't tolerate it at all, makes me feel sick and triggers migraines which go when I stop it. I can't get past day 5,I've tried multiple times. I hope you find a solution.
