HRT working, but with hair loss...

<< < (2/3) > >>

Dotty:
Hi you can ask for Oestrogel or oestrogen patches . If you are post meno then you will take the Utrogestan every day (100mg). Evorel Conti is for post meno so I'm presuming that you haven't had a period for 12 months. X

Hi again

I forgot to say that I don't want a monthly bleed.

I just read Utrogestan product details, and it states:

'You will have a bleed once a month (so-called withdrawal bleed) while taking Utrogestan'
AND
Taking Utrogestan with oestrogen:
'You might get some bleeding at the end of each month, rather like a period'

My doctors appt is in less than an hour, so the info I was going to take, won't help now?
I'm seeing a male doc, as my lady doc is on a break, and from past experience, they have little knowledge on HRT, and consult a manual, then guess  :-\

Dotty:
Hi you won't have a monthly bleed if you take the Utrogestan continuously and you are post meno x

NorthArm:
I agree with the other girls - norethisterone is a shocker for hair loss.

With the Utrogestan, if you decide to use it, take it at bedtime as it can be quite sedating.

Another couple of products you could try that come in pill form and have no norethisterone are Femoston Conti 1/5, and Angelique - both of these have much kinder progesterone.

Good luck with it all xx

Dotty:
Stellajane - I think you are right about Angelique x
