Hiya All
I have been having a browse on the forum about the change over from a sequential to a conti HRT, and just wanted to ask how everyone has found the change over. Now on my second month of femoston conti, and have a bit of spotting but that's expected. Ive also read that the change over can take months and months for your body to settle to the new HRT. However, really starting to struggle with anxiety attacks again, the silly things that years ago I wouldn't give a second thought to, are now causing me to go into a big panic. Waking up in the night, feeling hot, then, the anxiety kicks in, then its impossible to go back to sleep. Everything calmed whilst on femoston 1/10, then all the symptoms returned a few months ago. My GP said I shouldn't have been on the sequential for more than two years and it was time to change to conti. Ive no idea where I am in the menopause stage. A blood test years ago showed levels were rising and it had started.
I realise even with HRT we are going to still have some problems, as our own hormones are lowering and unbalancing.
Would love to hear from you all, on how you manage to deal with anxiety, do things start to balance out once the conti settles and gets into the system. Although the conti is continuous progesterone, is the femoston conti a lower dose HRT, are the start of symptoms expected to return until things settle. Looking forward to getting your thoughts and helpful advise.
