Hi Everyone - thankyou so much for your replies - so glad to have found this forum.
Yes I had to do my research and correct my GP, but yes, she prescribed the Utrogestan with the Vagifem.
I'm on 2 pumps of Oestrogel now and the Utrogesan. I have actually stopped the vagifem for now as I feel ok, but may well go back to it.
I've been on the Oestrogel for 10 days now but still havng broken sleep and feeling absolutely shattered at times. Do you think i should have a higher dose, or does it take longer? Liz Earle said she slept like a baby on her first day of HRT - that's not been my experience.
I haven't had a period for 2.5 years and was managing fine up until 6 months ago without anything - just started to feel really pants from then on. The hot flushes were not particularly bothersome, but they have lessened as has my constant need to pee.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
