Hello ladies,
I am in need of some help. 2.5 weeks ago I changed from Femoston 1/10 to Femoston Conti on the advice of my GP. I'm 51, had been on the 1/10 for 3 years and generally got on very well, but was beginning to have a few issues with the withdrawal bleeds (i.e. reactions to tampons and discomfort following bleeds), which were light but very regular and predictable. I also use Vagifem as needed but this was not helping with the problems I had following bleeds.
So, I'm now 2.5 weeks in to the Conti and I've already started a period/bleed. I've also not felt as well on the Conti as the 1/10 i.e. a bit of flushing and more joint pains than normal. I'm not sure what to do next. I have some 1/10 left so could go back to that, and then see GP again.....it does not feel right carrying on with the Conti,which contains daily progesterone, whilst bleeding. I am beginning to wonder whether I should have asked to try the 2/10 sequi (higher dose oestrogen) as maybe that is what I am lacking most (?)
Any advice/insights from ladies who have had similar issues with changing over would be appreciated. Ah, this menopause lark - I used to moan about my periods when younger - little did I know......
