HRT strength/Dosage
«

Hi Ladies
Can anyone tell me what strength/dose femseven comes in?
I am taking femseven sequi 50/10 at the moment, I am 45 and have been on HRT approximately 16 months.
I haven't had a period for 3 months and the anxiety is high, not sleeping as well and flushes are starting again.
Could it be that I may need a higher dose?
Any suggestions welcome as I am feeling awful.
Thanks

I can't answer your question I'm afraid, although it looks like there might only be one strength from what it says on this site.
I was interested to see your post though because I have just posted about increasing my dose because my symptoms had started to creep back.
I will watch your thread too with interest!
Good luck, Shellbe. Hope you get it sorted.

Hi shellb
As you are so young then a higher dose would certainly be worth a try - as that is a post-meno dose - and probably really for older women.
I think was it you who posted on another thread about getting a different prescription? If so, hopefully that will make you feel better!

Hi Hurdity,
Thanks for your reply, if you look at my other post you can see the latest decision the doctor and I came to.
Thanks again

Hi Ladies
I collected my new HRT today, a little confusing!!!
The doctor said a three month cycle.
Thirteen weeks on estrogen patch then two weeks progesterone tablet to be taken for the last two weeks. I have collected eight weeks of estrogen and two weeks of progesterone.
Do I use the progesterone alongside the estrogen?
I have been given Evorel 50 and Norethisterone 5mg.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
