help so confused

I have been on evoril conti patches 50.

I am now a week in on gel and utrogestron, I'm not getting on with the tablet very well and I feel it's a bit more of a risk to your health? Is this true?

any help appreciated

I don’t think it’s utrogestan is more risk to your health, the old tablets were as they were artificial hormones but now more natural and close to our natural hormones. Some people struggle with utrogestan. How are you taking it how often etc you may be able to change when you take it or dose. I take it for 25 days then have a 3 day break.

IBS is horrible, it doesn’t suit everyone and there’s lots of stuff to try x
