Re: Aygestin, Testosterone, Bleeding

What does the doctor say? I think Prometrium only comes in 100 and 200 strength capsules. Can aygestin be changed? >From what I've seen on Wyeth's site, it is only norethindrone. If you are taking Aygestin and a estrogen/testosterone compound, I would think you might be getting more than you need OR the norethindrone doesn't sit well with you. The estrogen compound, what is it?

Thanks, Victoria.  I may not have been clear.  I was not using natural
progesterone cream, but rather, Prometrium, a prescription medication.
And, the estrogen/testosterone I use is prescribed by my doctor and
filled at a compounding pharmacy.


What I am struggling with is that the Aygestin is apparently the same
form of progesterone in birth control pills and has some side effects.  I
would rather stay on Prometrium and adjust the dose, but I don't know if
that will do the trick.  Thanks.
