Hi Teresa, I was wondering how you were getting on with the Lenzetto now and if you've found the dosage sufficient?
I've only just seen your thread and am interested in the same thing, as I too have had to change my oestrogen dosage and type over the years to cope with returning symptoms. I started on Trisequens, then moved to Kliovance, then Kliofem, then Estrogel and now on Evorel 100 patches. I'm 55 now and after nearly a year doing well on the Evorel, the dreaded sweats are returning.
Seeing my GP on 8th September, but I know from past experience they're reluctant to prescribe anything over the recommended dose, so I too have wondered how other ladies get the higher dose that they need without resorting to private treatment. So I'm reading up on here and reputable sites to arm myself with info in case I need to have some facts to help 'persuade' the GP to let me have a higher dose.
CKLD gave me some useful info earlier in the week about asking for a blood test to check oestrogen levels, but I've lost the post when that website glitch happened a couple of days ago, and now I don't know what test I should be asking for. Is it a test for oestrogen levels, or estradiol? Are they different things?
