Hi Hurdity...the symptoms still troubling me are palpitations (or a kind of funny feeling in my chest that goes into my throat sometimes), nausea, headaches (not bad but it's there a lot of time) and tiredness. You're right, I was on Estradot with Utrogestan for just over 3 months and I tried this both cyclically and continuously at different strengths from 25mg to 75mg by cutting the patches up myself. I really wanted this to work but in the end I was feeling so rubbish all of the time, I had to give up. I thought that I probably wasn't absorbing the patches properly.
To be honest, I have felt better on the Femoston and my skin and hair seem better but as I already had the docs appointment booked yesterday, I thought I would see her to see if she had any advice on what might be causing the symptoms I'm still getting. She thinks my oestrogen is still low and I asked if I could try cyclical Femoston 2/10 but she wouldn't give me a cyclical HRT because of my age and I couldn't be bothered to argue with her
Having said all this, she still said she wanted me to try the low dose Indivina first so I won't be getting anymore oestrogen than I am now!! -
Anyway, having thought about it all over night, as it appears I might have problems getting Indivina, I'm going to stick with Femoston for the time being as I've only been on them for a couple of months and these symptoms might settle given time.
Sorry for the long post and thanks for taking the time to reply, Hurdity.
Have a good weekend.
