For ladies who may wish to consider Tridestra….
I have had one course of Tridestra and my GP knew all about it and suggested it so, it's not just private gyneas. That was in Feb 17 I think. It is oral and it caused me nausea, the runs and I found the progesterone phase difficult but I have to say that it was given to me at a time when I had changed my hrt 3 times quite quickly so it probably wasn't a good test run as I was so bad anyway I didn't know if I was coming or going! I would have had to have had 2 lots of the 90 days to find out if it really was going to settle. It was sort of taken out of my hands because I landed in hospital with sepsis within the next month or so and they stopped my hrt altogether anyway. Its hard to remember the timing of all this stuff to honest, I think I have it written down somewhere!?

So I was 56 at the time and my GP nor I knew whether I was in full meno because had been on hrt sine 46 ish but she assumed I was post meno and she was happy to prescribe.
The idea is good but if you suffer with issues from taking pills then you will be likely to have them on Tridestra.
There are 91 tablets in a pack of Tridestra. From days 71 to 84, you will be taking blue tablets, containing estradiol 2mg and medroxyprogesterone 20mg. From days 85 to 91, you will be taking yellow tablets with no active ingredient. You will get a withdrawal bleed whilst taking these yellow tablets.
It isn't on a shortage list either, at least I don't think it is if anyone wishes to try it. xx
