Change of HRT
« on: February 16, 2023, 12:51:28 PM »

Hi, I’m new to a forum and not good with technology so forgive me if I press a wrong button. In the last 3 weeks ive been changed to an evorel 50 patch and a utrogestan 100mg tablet due to constant bleeding on a estradiol norithisone tablet wheel. The question is, with the first tablet only hrt all the symptoms eased quickly but with this new treatment after 3 weeks I’m still getting hot flushes and night sweats, don’t sleep well, have headaches and feel quite low in mood and motivation to do anything, is this normal with the tablet and patch type and will it take longer or should it have sorted those symptoms out by now thank you

It's Trial and Error.  Hopefully someone who takes HRT will be along.  Or U could put the product names into the search box individually to see if threads pop up.  Make notes ;-)
