Wow. Sam. I'm so impressed how these creams work for you. Are you still taking the mini pill???
I'd give the cream a go georgie. What's to lose? I'm taking progesterone only cream. I was on compounded, but swapped to onas and I much prefer it. Onas also do an estriol one I think.
You might get comments on here telling you the creams won't work. They might not. But clearly they work for Sam. I'm not sure what my final outcome will be, but I can say with 100% certainty, I do take hormones in through the cream, so they certainly work in that way. Yes, there are ma y creams out there with too low a dose, but if you stick to serenity, biovea or onas you'll get a good product.
For me, there are a lot of start up symptoms. I'm trying to ride through it. Like conventional hrt, they say it can take 3 months to stabalise.
There is a Facebook group for the serenity cream. Progesterone link support group balancing hornones. Worth having a look on that and you can ask questions.
