I may have asked this before but I am not sure the GP advice I have been given is quite right. I was on Elleste Deut 1mg. These were in short supply so I was put on to Femoston 1mg. I am not sure one of better than the other but this doesn't matter so much. I have been on HRT for three years now (age 51) and the GP reckons I should be taking less oestrogen. I have been given a prescription for Femoston conti 0.5mg/2.5mg. I already struggle with low mood, irritability and bloating when I am on the 1mg version of Elleste Duet and femoston 1mg but feel better during the oestrogen phase. I am worried about starting the conti with lower oestrogen and higher progesterone. I was thinking I should be on a higher dose of oestrogen and lower progesterone, albeit as a continuous version. I am finding quite a lot of symptoms are worsening in general, eg anxiety, insomnia, cramps, fat around stomach and hot sweats. Although, thankfully, the migraines are still mostly under control. Can someone advise please.
