Dear All,
I've now been on HRT for a good number of years (first Utrogestan and Elleste Solo and now Evorel 50 and Conti patches), since I was 42 (am now 47). Apart from a uterus biopsy for unexplained bleeding and mammogram, I have never done any tests (e.g. blood to check my hormone levels) or other check-ups. When I asked why, my gynaecologist explained that HRT is managed on the basis of symptoms, which he asks me for at every yearly review.
My sister in law, however, who is in the US and on HRT, tells me that I should have some blood test every now and then to see how I am doing while on HRT.
What has everyone else's experience been on the matter?
Many thanks in advance for any views and sharing experiences.
