Good afternoon, I am new to the forum but this looks an amazing place to share experiences.
I am 50 and perimenopausal, for about 4 years. Pre HRT I had anxiety, dry skin, brain fog, fatigue, irregular cycles (120 days) stomach issues, low libido. I started on Evorel 25mg patches and Utrogestan 100mg for about 5 months, with 2 bleeds. I was changed to Evorel Sequi 50mg as felt very nauseous taking the oral utrogestan. I noticed that I had more stomach aches on this HRT regime, gripey sort of pain. I also did not have a bleed. The nurse practitioner when I spoke with her advised me to stop the patches and wait 4-6 weeks to see if things settle, then look in to blood tests etc. I know one of the side effects of the patches is stomach pain but wondered if others had the same issues. I think my anxiety is making the stomach feel worse. There are no other digestive issues. Many thanks
