Dear Miss C.

Thank you so much for your reply! It is interesting how our bodies all respond differently.

I explained to my specialist that the side effects I experience with Progynova are just too harsh for me to function in my job. Dizziness and anxiety are just not the best ingredients to do any kind of job. He understood and respected my decision to stop taking the progynova. He did prescribe a different type of estrogen for next cycle, called Premarin 0.625mg, hoping I can handle these better. I did read the leaflet, and it does mention the same type of possible side effects, so I do worry a bit. I will try them next cycle and will definitely follow your advice on drinking plenty of water. I probably don't drink enough.

Do you have any experience with taking any herbal supplements? I am currently taking red raspberry leaf tablets (with consent of my specialist). I read online that taking Evening Primrose Oil tablets from start of period until ovulation and flax seed after ovulation. Both support hormone levels and help building a healthy uterine lining. I did read warnings on combining these herbal supplements with hormonal treatment though? Do you have any experience? Advice?

I want to thank you once again for your words of support and advice. Very VERY much appreciated!

Lots of baby dust to you!
