Hi ladies,
So the story so far is, I'm 51 started HRT in December for flushes and aches and pains and was put on combined HRT which caused persistent bleeding, so after 4-5 months I came off, had a break then started Femoston sequi 1/10 and am in my 5th month of taking this. I am finding that in the oestrogen phase, from about tablet 4 to 14 I am feeling quite light headed and at first I thought it was me being anaemic after the scheduled period which I found quite heavy. So, went to the GP had blood tests which came back fine. Whilst speaking to the GP for the blood test results, I mentioned that the light headedness seemed to go when I start the progesterone phase and I wondered whether getting the mirena fitted and taking oestrogen separately was a good option. She said it was my call and if that's what I wanted, she would be happy to arrange it and for me to research and think about it and give her a call if I decided to go down that route.
So I am now trying to get advice on the oestrogen side, as the GP is likely to prescribe the cheapest option unless I suggest otherwise (and she has told me to go away and research after all
). Any suggestions, don't mind patches or pills.
Thanks DollyD x
