100 - 200 mg is about the same dose most people take AFAIK (I personally take 100 mg / night). I find I only really need prog to help me sleep when my estrogen is high, so when my estrogen is waning I skip my prog doses and I sleep fine.
For the on week, are you taking it every night for a week, and then taking a week off without it? That's super interesting!
And yeah, I'm regularly pissed when I hear how gynecologists are treating their patients - refusing to take blood tests for symptoms of low estrogen because of birth control (and offering nothing), not taking symptoms seriously, not being proactive and helpful to ensure obvious signs of low estrogen aren't treated ... it's so common and predictable, it's hard not to see medicine as inherently sexist, tbh.
Sometimes I have one day without it in the middle of the week, but it's a bit easy to loose track.
The idea of a lower dose every day sounds really appealing, consistency would be nice! I'll ask the pharmacy about getting some 100mg next time I run out - thanks, I haven't thought about changing it for ages and there's no harm in trying :-)
