Hi Lil22
Great to hear from you too! You did well to stockpile the Premique
I have heard of the Duavive and thought this might be worth a look at some point. Bit of a chicken so I'd probably want to see more reviews before trying.
I haven't heard anything official re Premarin it's something I discussed with my GP. She said it was still v popular, especially in the US, but she was interested to see Prempak and Premique were discontinued and that low dose Premique has intermittent supply problems. I wonder if the animal rights groups might be having sway here and everything seems to be going 'bioidentical' these days. However yams vs horses- they are both natural and neither are humans so it's all confusing to me. The scientists know best, I guess!!
I'm sorry to hear you had problems with Femoston. Did you have the conti 1/5, 1/10 or the sequi 2/10? How long did you try it for. Hope you don't mind me checking, are you post or peri? How is the Premique going?
Ps I haven't tried the Utro with Premarin as only done a month and used Provera for the first 14 days but no bleed since coming off it. I did try Utro briefly with the patches but it completely zonked me out. Fine for sleep but not in day was totally spaced out. I only did 3 days as I couldn't manage it However, this was when I was on patches and I had a bad time on these. Kept falling off, itchy, burning skin and felt like I was having estrogen overload. So....who the hell knows what was causing what
I wouldn't rule it out in the future with maybe just estradiol tablet. Honestly, I have been thinking about dropping the HRT but remember how bloody lethal I felt before. It was affecting my work and I could not go back to that.
