Hello,
I need some advice, I'm 41 and Peri-menopause, 3 months ago I was switched from Evorel Sequi patches to Femoston 1mg pills. It seemed to be okay except now, I have a gained an awful lot of weight (especially around the belly and waist, its not lockdown weight) and feel bloated from head to toe. I've also developed dry eczema patches all over my body and seem to get reoccurring UTI at the end of the Estrogen part (its like clock work) The doctor has suggested I try a higher dose as pills don't tend to absorb as much of the meds as patches. I was just wondering if anyone else had this experience from Femoston and if you have any advice?
I'm just concerned that if I get put on a higher dose that I'm going to gain even more weight, I'm eating a healthy diet. (always have done) I've cut out wheat, now dairy and i don't eat meat.
Its really getting me down as i'm active and exercise regularly.
Also, as of yesterday I've started drinking Soya milk again. On some articles I've read small amounts is okay on HRT. but on others its says it can have the opposite effect with long term use.
Thanks in advance
