Hi Morwenna
I'm not quite at the stage where the conti is an option yet.
However I have pointed out on another post recently that medium and high options for post meno are limited.
http://www.menopausematters.co.uk/postmeno.phpThe Progestogen is reduced to 2.5 in FEMOSTON CONTI as you'll be taking each day - rather for only part of the 28 days.
There are lots of posts that seem to indicate dropping down to lower Estrogen levels will see a return of the symptoms we took HRT to prevent in the first place

So best not to go there if you don't want to.
The best option you have is to go with FEMOSTON CONTI* 1mg and ELLESTE SOLO 1mg.This would have various benefits.
1) you can continue with the Progestogen that already suits you.
2) you can take the Femoston Estrogen/Progestogen in the morning then in the evening the ELLESTE Estrogen - thus spreading out your intake and avoiding any drop off/sweats later in the day and overnight (easy for your body all round).
3) you can also see if taking just the FEMOSTON in the morning will suffice in a controlled way - by having the ELLESTE SOLO as backup should the 1mg for the whole day not be enough. You would likely see the difference pretty quickly.
4) conti option has additional benefits to you also and the sooner your on that and stable again (without new side effects).
There are a few drawbacks.
1) convincing your doctor to do this

2) avoiding the doctor pushing you to reduce your HRT

3) possible extra cost for the addition of ELLESTE SOLO 1mg to keep you to the 2mg Estrogen total per day
Just keep pushing for what your happy with. Its your choice, not the doctors.
