Hi after finally taking the decision to start HRT a few months ago I first started the gel, but made no difference whatsoever even on the maximum dose. I was then started on patches and again nothing. I’m not even getting any side effects. The patch I’m on is Estradot 75 strength and my GP said I could go up to 100 but you are more at risk of cancer. My question is has anyone else had the same problem in the body not absorbing the gel and patches. My GP has said to give it another 4 weeks to see how it goes. She said I could have HRT in tablet form. I’m a bit worried about starting the tablets as I thought the gel and patches were safer. Is anyone else on the tablets please.
When I started HRT I was expecting to feel so different as you hear many women saying it’s changed their lives.
Many thanks for reading and your help.
