Hi Ladies
Thank you for your replies
I will contact the clinics and book myself in, but I don't know how to get through the weeks ahead - I only have 2 weeks worth of Elleste Duet left.
I had an awful time with menopause for two years before I started hrt, the Elleste gave me my life back. Been on it for 10 months but because I was 2 years post menopause when I started it, the Sequential HRT was not ideal - due to not enough progesterone- it caused simple hyperplasia without atypia, causing spotting and erratic bleeds. I should have been put on continuous combined HRT.
In any case I only have a 6mm endometrial thickening and at my age - 47 now- and with the sequential HRT its very common apparently and simple hyperplasia without atypia very unlikely to turn cancerous.
Progesterone treatment is recommend - ideally Mirena coil, and while Dr Currie says completely safe to prescribe oestrogen patches with it, the hospital consultant wants no estrogen at all and GP does not dare to go against. Because it all takes so long, continueus combined tablets would be ideal in the meantime and Dr Currie wrote to both the Gp and the consultant, but they have been dragging their feet, and fobbing me off.
The only choice they are really giving me is to plunge me into overnight menopause. I cannot imagine going back to hot flushes every 10-15 minutes, followed by cold shivers, awful palpitations, never being asleep for longer than an hour, it was killing me.
And two weeks ago when I started rationing the pills, I discovered that after missing 2 pills the symptoms came back.
I have taken all the print outs to the doctor, including research but no result.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts xx
