- Dr Renée describes who needs progesterone in HRT and why. She then describes the different ways in which it can be delivered and how to use the commonly confused Utrogestan. In a nutshell:
Bleeding regimens:
Oestrogen daily
Utrogestan 200mg days 15-26
Non Bleed regimen:
Oestrogen daily
Utrogestan 100mg every day (no break)
She talks through HRT tablets, patches, gel and micronised progesterone.

Thanks so much. This made me cry with gratitude. I never have the sense that my GP has the time to explain things properly and that increases my anxiety massively. I so appreciate your work here. ❤
great little pod cast. I have been on continuous HRT pill form for 22 years and I am now 72 and doing great. My doctor kept telling me I should stop but I think now has finally done his research and stopped arguing with me.
Thanks so much I can't believe you are so persistent in your response. I went over a lot of your response had gotten a lot of info. Thank you again!
Wow! Very clear information in one video!!
You explained that very well. Thank you.
Just wanted to say thank you for doing this video it’s come just at the right time for me. You explain things very clearly in what is a bit of a mind field.
This Video is extremely helpful !
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us ladies information about the menopause and HRT. I was put on antidepressants at the age of 46. I felt numb most of the time. I stopped taking the antidepressant medication at the age of 50. I struggled on with my symptoms until one day I felt that I was going mad in the head.
Sorry Dr Renée I listened to your video you already answered my question about taking the tablets continuously and not having a break like it says on the label on my tablets, makes sense as it's supposed to be continuous hrt x
I wish I could get my Elleste Duet. Sooo simple to take. One pill every day is the simplest way forward. Thank you for explaining the way to take this system correctly. Two pharmacists were unable to advise me. The practice Nurse told me to take Utrogestan for 25 days.... but no further instructions. Thank you for explaining things.
I am now on antidepressant tablets because I can't cope with the the menopausal symptoms that I am having. My ultrasound scan came back not sure what the result means. Waiting for a letter to see a specialist in this field. After I have seen the specialist, I will go private to see if I can go back on HRT.
Such an amazing video. Thank you so much. What is confusing to me is why some doctors suggest estrogen with progesterone during those 12 days or just progesterone alone. Could you possibly shed some light on that please?

Hi Dr Renee, so glad to have discovered you💗.
Hello from Across The Pond! Your videos helped me decide to start HRT as i was having Insomnia and anxiety with low energy (my GP sent me to psychiatrist). The first night i took the micronized progesterone soft gel pill, i slept straight through the night! I'm on day 4 and sleeping great now, but waking up with hangover headache. I will try inserting vaginally instead - appreciate that tip!
Great video and very informative. I have been prescribed Oestrogel pump and 100mg Utrogestan.
Hello. I've only just spotted this one. When I came to see you in early summer I was using bioidentical hormone cream. After speaking to you I determined to swap onto Oestrogel and Utrogestan. First I had a blood test - hormone levels of Oestrogen were just 44! Wasn't getting much help from the cream then. I also had a scan and had no issues at all with the uterus, lining of 2mm and blood test to accompany it was also perfectly normal.
I am on the progesterone implant for contraception. I have Oestrogel and Utrogestan. What way would you recommend taking the Utrogestan as I’ve been on the combined pill for years and have a really light withdrawal bleed.
Hi there, thanks for this information, it's very good.
Thank you for this information. Dr, please can tell me what the side effects could be if taking 5mg of Provera? I have been on Utrogestan and a 75 patch. Due to spotting/bleeding my Dr put me up to 2x Utrogestan each night to try to stop the bleeding. Unfortunately it didn't stop it and she said that it's just not strong enough for my situation. I am not wanting a Mirena so my only option is Provera tablets. I'm worried these might not be the best option, and I'm also wondering about potential side effects. Thanks for your help.
