Hi Ladies

Just wondering if any ladies are using a conti tablet?? I was on Angelique a few years ago and found it was the only conti that suited me. Can't seem to find any continua's progesterone that suits me. At 63 I am fed up having a bleed every few weeks.

Many thanks

Hello I'm 61 and started on Evorel patch 50 combined conti in March, which is working well for me now. I tried Elleste Duet a few years before that and tolerated the progesterone. I have not been able to tolerate the body identical progesterone. X

Hi.

I’m on Femoston conti tablets. Been on them for years now.
They’re supposed to have the gentlest progesterone in them. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thanks ladies.

Jillydoll - are you over 60 ?? I know GPs are reluctant to give tablets to older women (so I heard)

Ahh, no not yet. I’m 58 this year.
Sorry, didn’t read your post correctly.

Hi Warcick, the progestin on Angeliq is sold under de name of Slind or Slinda in Europe. Maybe you can ask your doc to prescribe it for you.

Hi , I moved from Angelique when it was in short supply, I was put on Kliovance and was told it was the nearest thing to Angelique, I didn’t encounter any issues.

Hi I’m on Femoston conti. I’m not over 60 but I certainly intend continuing it beyond age 60! As long as you don’t have other high risk factors for a stroke and you have a discussion with your GP about it I don’t see why you shouldn’t have tablet form if it suits you better. There’s nothing in the guidelines that says oral HRT is contraindicated in over 60s it’s simply that the transdermal route has a lower risk than the already extremely low risk from oral HRT therefore it is often used a the first choice route for over 60s. If transdermal doesn’t suit you ie you don’t get on with the progestogen in them then your GP should quite frankly prescribe what you want. Unless of course you have other stroke risk factors. Another one to possibly try is the new one called Bijuve. It’s oral and a conti x

Hi, l am on Femostan conti and am well over 60, it suits me and l have no intention of coming off it. Before that l was on lndivina but had some bleeding issues so changed to estrodot patch and uterogestan but l didn't get on with that at all. I have had no issues since l started taking Femostan, l have had to argue my case a few times with my G.P about continuing ' at my age' but l just quote the NICE guidelines and say l am aware of the risks and that to me the benefits and advantages outweigh those.

I'm 65 & have been on Femoston Conti low dose for many years. They suit me well & I am now down to half a tablet a day. I don't get hot flushes but in the last 18 months I have had post menopausal bleeding.
The jury is out as to weather that is due to the HRT or not
