Hi,
I havn't been on here for a while but need some advice.
I am 57 and been post meno for several years.
I had an early meno at 38..Had been on HRT for several years but came off it
during the breast cancer scare days.
I am prog intolerant(bigtime).
I stated taking HRT a couple of years ago as the gains out weighed the symptoms
which had become intolerable.
I was OK on Estrogen patch and 200mg Utrogestan.( 10 weeks estrogen and 12 days Utro)
Worked fantastically well since last November.
However,my hair had been falling out in large amounts and I started getting very bad pains in my calf
while on and after taking the Utro (orally).These problems went after a couple of weeks when off the Utro.
Has anyone else had these problems?
I started on Femoston 1/5 continuous and felt great for a week or so but then started to bleed and still am after 10 days ( not good).I also feel as tho I am anxious and need deep breaths to get some air.( a bit like I did with my symptoms while menopausal).
Could it be that I need to take a stronger dose? ( Could I double upto 2/10?)
Is there a patch with Femoston and Dydrogesterone?
I feel quite happy on Femoston but think I would be better taking slightly more estrogen.
Any advice would be much appreciated as I havn't used this Hrt before.
