Hi thanks for letting me join this helpful forum. As my Evorel Conti is unavailable at the moment in the UK via the NHS a stand-in doctor said the latest advise they are offering women is to try just the Estradiol gel on its own as after recent research on HRT he said it is safer (Im 54 with Uterus and been on hrt 2.5 years). On getting home and googling Estradiol to find out about it, everywhere says it must be taken with progesterone!! He didn't say anything about his and now Im doubting he gave me correct advise, this is what I read online: "Because percutaneous estradiol stimulates the endometrium, women with an intact uterus should also take a progestogen".
Has anybody else been told to use Estradiol alone who has a uterus - to me is sounds against medical advice? Would love to hear from you.
