Hi how old are you ( if you don’t mind me asking)?

The advice is that you can try a Conti hrt after you’ve been on Sequi for a year, but you might get bleeding still if your body isn’t ready for a Conti regime.

If your symptoms are coming back it’s likely that you need more oestrogen so would need to change to gel or patch. x

Hi Dotty , I'm 53 have been  perimenopause  for 9 years, so was not sure if I was going in to the menopause pharmacy did say we could try something else if didn't work .
Just had enough of feel unwell

Is it Evorel Conti patches they’ve advised? Or Elleste Duet Conti tablets ?X

[Pmj 28]

Yes ,that was one he said  ,did not mention elleste duet conti x

You may find you absorb more through a patch but if you need more oestrogen you’d need to change to gel or an oestrogen only patch … both with a separate progesterone.
