Hi All,
I have been on Femoston Conti 1/5mg since March after ovary removal, I am 55 and 3 yrs post period. After the removal suffered severe menopausal symptoms, faintness, half here feeling, jelly legs, insomnia, depression etc. After a month felt OK again, then after 2 months developed headaches and was waking at 1am, poss a sign of two much oestrogen? I halved the dose but this was too little, started to feel jelly legged etc again.
Last week Gynae put me on Estrodot 50ug/Utrogestan 100mg daily, as the patches can be cut easily to reduce dose if needed and less hormone fluctuation. Started on Monday and have felt worse as the week as gone along. Feeling faint, headache, jelly legs, disrupted sleep and feeling very low. I cut approx 20% off my 2nd patch on Thursday, as I was developing headaches again, but still feel bad. Having to miss my sons birthday today!
I must take HRT due to the severe symptoms post op, any help/advice much appreciated.
