Hi Jaz,
It's about a year since I have posted!
Just want to say delighted you have found the hrt that suits you. I am also on Elleste Solo 2mg but have a Mirena Coil to protect my womb. I too find it very agreeable. Prior to this I had been on Elleste Duet 2mg for about 14 years and that also suited me. It just goes to show how individual we all are really. I know some ladies have tried this brand and it doesn't suit them. I too dread the day I have to stop but it will be sooner for me as I am 59! You are only a young thing yet.
It's more the mental things that get me and this brand seems to do the trick. It hasn't stopped me from being an anxious type of person but I'm not going round weeping and gnashing my teeth expecting the world to end which I would be doing otherwise. Occasionally I will get a flush but nothing unbearable.
The fly in the ointment for me is that I continue to spot with the mirena coil. I have been investigated with scans and hysteroscopy etc and the hospital seem to think if I don't mind living with it then I should carry on otherwise change the hrt. I really don't wish to change as this arrangement does suit me and I feel if I make too much of a fuss at the meno clinic they might insist I stop HRT altogether. So here I am at 59 still wearing a pantyliner and sometimes even a sanitary towel.
I have friends who are going it naturally too and seem to think I'm bonkers putting up with the spotting at my age but I agree with you regarding the Elleste Solo, it is brilliant.
Before I go let me just tell you that I experimented with other brands of hrt after I finished the Elleste Duet 2 mg before settling on this and it was a pretty rough time headaches, tears no libido etc. I paid to see a consultant just to get another perspective and as much information as possible and he certainly made me feel very optimistic and told me he was still seeing a lady in her 70's!
Lovely to hear from you and keep taking the tabs. Patxx
