Hi Thanks Hurdity and Robotwars,
I think that is a very valid point about the sudden surge needing to be higher in tablet form. I am ok on 1/10 , but still feel very tired and achy and have meno foggy brain, But at least my moods are better- no panic ( well obviously a bit now and again , but I can cope a lot better) no tears and terror!
I have to stay on the Femosten 1/10 for 4 months until I see the meno nurse again and if I haven't had an improvement in tiredness and brain fog , aches and periods - although my last one was 6 days , so that was better than 10 days, I will perhaps suggest patches,
I do not know diddly squat about the best patches to use? I don't want any ones with man made progesterone , something with the same progesterone as the femosten - or utrogestan .
Dr Currie suggested well over a year ago try thr Femosten and if that doesn't work try:
For the estrogen, take 1mg Elleste solo daily.
For the progestogen, take Utrogestan 200mg taken daily by tablet at bedtime for 12 days per 28 day cycle. Utrogestan should be taken at bedtime because it may cause some sleepiness
But what is Estelle solo? Is it a tablet? Wouldn't I be better off on a patch?
If you are on the patch does it have the progesterone in the patch for 12 days or does the progesterone come in tablet form and you take it as well as the patch?
Is there one that suits most in patch form as with the Femeston ( tablet) which is kinder and suits more women?
Glad I am not weird!!
