Hrt to pmdd treatment
I know for perimenopause or menopause treatment high doses of estrogen is prescribed with higher doses or progesterone. But has anyone here been prescribed 100mcg estrogen patch with 100mg of daily Utrogestan for pmdd? And it actually helped their pmdd?
I know the naps guidelines in the UK which I think is quite a few years old it says 100mch estrogen x 2 a week with 100mg of daily progesterone can be prescribed to control symptoms.
I have been using the 75mcg patch estrogen with daily 100mg of Utrogestan and I still have pmdd.
I have been on the 75mcg patch for quite a while now and I was cycling the progesterone part for a long time, it was 200mg for 12 days but they thought that the starting and stopping of that was adding to the pmdd so put me on daily.
I still have pmdd unfortunately. Wondering if now because I take progesterone every day whether upping the estrogen patch to 100 could help 🤔
