Hi everyone,
I've been reading this forum since I entered the menopause and thank god for it, too - the wealth of knowledge here is astounding. It's helped me hugely.
After a bit of initial experimenting with type and dosage, I've been very happy on HRT and I still am. The type was changed recently, at my request, to a continuous combined (Tibolone) and again, I'm happy on it.
What I'm not happy about is that the Gynae Outpatients Clinic who prescribed it have said I can continue for two years then I have to have a Mirena coil and Oestrogel. I don't want a coil and I cannot have made that any clearer. I want to take my chosen type of HRT, having made an informed decision regarding the pros, cons and relative risks. I know lots of women do take their HRT well into their 60s. I'm 52.
Is there anything I can do, other than go private, which I can't really afford. I have an apt on Tuesday to argue my case so any advice would be very useful.
Thanks in advance.
Jo
